Write 9 + 27/2x = - 3/2y

1 answer

To manipulate the equation \(9 + \frac{27}{2}x = -\frac{3}{2}y\), you can express \(y\) in terms of \(x\) or vice versa. Here’s how to isolate \(y\):

  1. Start with the original equation:

    \[ 9 + \frac{27}{2}x = -\frac{3}{2}y \]

  2. Rearrange the equation to solve for \(y\):

    \[ -\frac{3}{2}y = 9 + \frac{27}{2}x \]

  3. Multiply both sides by \(-\frac{2}{3}\) to isolate \(y\):

    \[ y = -\frac{2}{3}(9 + \frac{27}{2}x) \]

  4. Distributing \(-\frac{2}{3}\):

    \[ y = -\frac{2}{3} \cdot 9 - \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{27}{2}x \]

    \[ y = -6 - 9x \]

So, the equation in terms of \(y\) is:

\[ y = -6 - 9x \]

This equation shows \(y\) as a function of \(x\).
