Question

Solve the equation for y 1/3x + y = 4

Answer 1

The given expression is,

`((1)/(3)x)+y=4`

On solving,

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(3)+y=4 \\ x=12-3y \end{gathered}`

Substituting the value of x in the first equation,

`\begin{gathered} (12-3y)/(3)+y=4 \\ 12-3y+3y=12 \\ y=0 \end{gathered}`

Thus, y =0
