solve 2y - 18x = -26 for y

1 answer

To solve for y in the equation 2y - 18x = -26, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.

Adding 18x to both sides, we have:

2y = -26 + 18x

Next, we divide both sides by 2:

y = (-26 + 18x)/2

Simplifying the expression inside the parentheses:

y = (-26)/2 + (18x)/2

y = -13 + 9x

So the equation has been solved for y as y = -13 + 9x.
