what is the value of x in the equation 2x + 3y = 36 when y = 6

Sagot :

AyaZ
[tex]2x + 3(6) = 36 \\ 2x=36-18=18 \\ x= \frac{18}{2} =9[/tex]
sub in the y value which is 6:
2x+3*6=36
next you multiply 3*6 to start simplifying for x:
2x+18=36
after that you need to isolate the variable x by using inverse operations(subtract 18 from both sides:
2x+18-18=36-18
simplify that:
2x=18
do inverse operations again this time you need to use division:
2x/2=18/2
simplify for your answer:
x=9
