Question

The equation 3x + 2y = 4 is in standard form. Write an equivalent equation to find y. Solve for y.



What is your new equation after you moved the 'x-term' to the opposite side of equ

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -$\frac{3}{2}$ +2    

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3x+2y=4      subtract 3x on both sides to isolate 2y

  -3x    =-3x

   2y=-3x+4

2. 2y=-3x+4    divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

   2      2

y=-$\frac{3}{2\\}$ +2            this is the equivalent equation

To solve for y.

1. substitute 0 for x

 y= -$\frac{3}{2}$(0) + 2

2. anything multiplied by 0 is 0

y=2
