To solve for y in terms of x, divide both sides of the equation by 2: y = x/2.

If x=2y then you have already solved for x.

Solve linear equation 2y equals 3x-4?

2y-3x=4


Solve for y if the equation is -2x - 2y equals -12?

-2x - 2y = -122x + 2y = 122y = 12 - 2xy = 6 - x


Solve for y when 2x equals 2y plus 3?

2x = 2y + 3 So 2y = 2x - 3 and y = x - 1.5 It is not possible to solve a single linear equation in two variables, other than to express one variable in terms of the other.


How do you solve this equation 3x plus 2y equals 12 solve for y?

3x + 2y = 12 ie 2y = 12 - 3x so y = 6 - 3x/2


W plus x equals 2y plus z for x?

you can not solve this equation


What is x-2y equals -4?

You have 2 unknowns (x,y) and only one equation, so it is unsolvable if you are trying to solve for values for x and y. However, if you are just trying to solve for x in terms of y, then the answer is x=-4+2y.


How do you solve 3x plus 2y equals 7?

You cannot solve one linear equation in two unknown variables.


Can you solve x plus 2y equals 2?

No. There is not enough information in the equation x + 2y = 2, by itself, to solve it. There are an infinite number of solutions. A second equation, or information to allow a second equation to be derived, must be given to find a solution.


How do you solve this equation and check you answer 2x-3y equals 8 x-2y equals 2?

x=10 y=4


What is the answer for x-2y equals 2?

It is not possible to solve one linear equation in two unknown variables. Another, independent equation is required.


How do you solve 2x plus 2y equals 6?

A single linear equation in two variables cannot be solved.


Solve this equation using subtitution x plus 7y equals 39 and 3x subtract 2y equals 2?

From first equation: x = 39 - 7ySubstitute this in second equation: 3(39 - 7y) - 2y = 2ie 117 - 21y - 2y = 2ie 115 = 23yie y = 5, making x = 4.
