Question

2x - 3y = 8

Show steps

Answer 1

Simplifying
2x + -3y = 8

Solving
2x + -3y = 8

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3y' to each side of the equation.
2x + -3y + 3y = 8 + 3y

Combine like terms: -3y + 3y = 0
2x + 0 = 8 + 3y
2x = 8 + 3y

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 4 + 1.5y

Simplifying
x = 4 + 1.5y

Answer 2

So to find this out you have to find what x and y equal. To find that, you do 2 x 1= 2, so x = 2. To find y, you have to do 3 x 2= 6, so y=6. Now add 6 + 2 and you get 8
