solve for x and y: 6x - 2y = 9

1 answer

To solve for \( y \) in terms of \( x \) from the equation \( 6x - 2y = 9 \), we can rearrange the equation as follows:

  1. Start with the original equation: \[ 6x - 2y = 9 \]

  2. Move \( 6x \) to the right side: \[ -2y = 9 - 6x \]

  3. Divide both sides by -2 to solve for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{6x - 9}{2} \] or simplified: \[ y = 3x - 4.5 \]

Now, if you need specific values for \( x \) and \( y \), you would need another equation because we only have one equation which describes a line in a two-dimensional space.

If you have another equation to solve alongside this one, please provide it, and I can help you find specific values for \( x \) and \( y \).
