3x + 2y = 10

sove for y

1 answer

To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( 3x + 2y = 10 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract \( 3x \) from both sides of the equation: \[ 2y = 10 - 3x \]

  2. Divide both sides by \( 2 \) to isolate \( y \): \[ y = \frac{10 - 3x}{2} \]

So, the solution for \( y \) in terms of \( x \) is: \[ y = 5 - \frac{3}{2}x \]
