Hi there!
Since we have 2 variables in the given equation, and you only want to solve for one, the other will end up in your answer.
\(6x + 8y = 12\)
Step 1) Add 8y to both sides.
\(6x - 8y + 8y = 12 + 8y 6x = 8y + 12\)
Step 2) Divide both sides by 6.
\(\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{8y + 12}{6}\)
\(x = \frac{4}{3} y + 2\)
Final Answer -
\(x = \frac{4}{3} y + 2\)
Hope this helps! :D
