Question

y + 2 =1/2(x – 3).

Please help ?!?

Answer 1

first, spread the parenthesis. y+2=1/2x-1.5

second, add 1.5 to both sides. y+3.5=1/2x

third, multiply by 2. 2y+7=x

if you are solving for y, do not do the third step, instead, subtract by 3.5. y=x-3.5

hope this helps!

ANSWER: x=2y+7 or y=x-3.5
