Question

Solve for y in the first equationx-3y=-62x-7y=10

Answer 1

The first equation is

`x-3y=-6`

First, we subtract x from each side.

`\begin{gathered} x-x-3y=-6-x \\ -3y=-6-x \end{gathered}`

Then, we divide the equation by -3.

`\begin{gathered} -(3y)/(-3)=(-6-x)/(-3) \\ y=2+(x)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the answer is

`y=2+(x)/(3)`
