what is the answer to this equation 2 + 1/6y = 3x + 4
2 + 1/6y = 3x + 4
2 - 4 = 3x - 1/6y
-2 = 3x - 1/6y
But if you have to find x & y do this…
To solve for x. (Make y = 0)
3x - 1/6y = (-2)
3x - 1/6(0) = (-2)
3x - 0 = (-2)
3x = (-2)
x = (-2) / 3
x = -2/3 or -0.67
To solve for y. (Make x = 0)
3x - 1/6y = (-2)
3(0) - 1/6y = (-2)
0 - 1/6y = (-2)
-1/6y = (-2)
y = (-2) / -1/6
y = 12
Answer:
When \(y=1\), \(x=\frac{11}{18}\)
When \(x=1\), \(y=\frac{1}{30}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
\(2 + \frac{1}{6y} = 3x + 4\)
\(2 -4+ \frac{1}{6y} = 3x\)
\(-2= 3x-\frac{1}{6y}\)
The only way to find the values for this equation is find values of \(x\) and \(y\) relative to each other.
That means we substitute a value for \(x\) and find the value of \(y\) for that particular \(x\) value.
Let's find \(x\) when \(y=1\):
\(-2= 3x-\frac{1}{6y}\)
\(-2= 3x-\frac{1}{6\times1}\)
\(-2= 3x-\frac{1}{6}\)
\(-2+\frac{1}{6}= 3x\)
\(\frac{11}{18}= x\)
Therefore, when \(y=1\), \(x=\frac{11}{18}\)
Let's find \(y\) when \(x=1\):
\(-2= 3x-\frac{1}{6y}\)
\(-2= 3\times1-\frac{1}{6y}\)
\(-2= 3-\frac{1}{6y}\)
\(\frac{1}{6y}= 3+2\)
\(\frac{1}{6y}= 5\)
\(\frac{1}{6\times5}= y\)
\(\frac{1}{30}= y\)
Therefore, when \(x=1\), \(y=\frac{1}{30}\)
