Question

Solve 24x + 2y = 48 for x.

Answer 1

Hello! :)

First thing you do is add -2y to both sides

24x + 2y + -2y = 48 + -2y

24x = -2y + 48

Now divide both sides by 24

24x/24 = -2y + 48/24

x = -1/12y + 2

Hope this helps

Answer 2

x = 2 - 1/12y

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

24x + 2y = 48

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 2y on both sides: 24x = 48 - 2y

Divide both sides by 24: x = 2 - 1/12y
