Given the equation below solve for the variable x .

Question

10x = 6y - 2x

A. x = 1/2y

B. x = 4/3y

C. x = 2y

D. x = 3/4y

Answer 1

To solve for the variable x, we can first combine like terms on the right side of the equation:

10x + 2x = 6y

Combining like terms, we have:

12x = 6y

Now, we can isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 12:

(12x)/12 = (6y)/12

Simplifying, we get:

x = (6/12)y = (1/2)y

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. x = 1/2y

Answer 2

U sure?

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's solve the equation correctly:

10x = 6y - 2x

To isolate the variable x, we can add 2x to both sides:

10x + 2x = 6y - 2x + 2x

This simplifies to:

12x = 6y

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to solve for x:

(12x)/12 = (6y)/12

Simplifying further, we get:

x = (1/2)y

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. x = 1/2y
