To solve for y, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation:
6x = 7 - 4y
First, let's move the term with y to the other side by adding 4y to both sides of the equation:
6x + 4y = 7
Next, let's isolate y by subtracting 6x from both sides:
4y = 7 - 6x
Now, divide both sides by 4 to solve for y:
y = (7 - 6x) / 4
To find the value of y when x = -2, substitute -2 for x in the equation:
y = (7 - 6(-2)) / 4
Simplifying the equation:
y = (7 + 12) / 4
y = 19 / 4
Therefore, when x = -2, the value of y is 19/4.
Solve for y, then find the value of y when given x = –2.
6x = 7 – 4y
