the equatio y =3x/2+8 defines y in terms of x. What is x in terms of y.
Accepted Solution
A:
[tex]y = \frac{3x}{2} + 8[/tex]the L.C.M is 2since it is the highest denominator.so multiply through by the L.C.M[tex]2 \times y =2 \times \frac{3x}{2} + 8 \times 2[/tex][tex]2y = 3x + 16[/tex]making x the subject.[tex]3x = 2y - 16[/tex]dividing through by 3[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{2y - 16}{3} [/tex][tex]x = \frac{2y - 16}{3} [/tex]
