I need help with equations.
-4X+Y=16
well what are you trying to do...solve it....simplify it?
Simplified is X+Y=-4
Lets assume you want to solve for either x or y.
1) If you want to solve for x, we have to take y=0. When we fill this into the equation, we get that:
-4X+0=16
=> -4X=16
=> X=-4
2) If you want to solve for Y, you have to take x=0. When we fill this into the equation we get that:
0+Y=16
=>Y=16
Sure! I can help you with that equation.
To solve for the variables in an equation, there are a few different methods you can use. One commonly used method is the "substitution method." Here's how to solve your equation using substitution:
Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one variable in terms of the other variable.
In this case, let's solve for Y in terms of X:
-4X + Y = 16
Y = 4X + 16
Step 2: Substitute the expression for the variable that you solved in step 1 into the other equation.
Now, substitute Y with 4X + 16 in the second equation:
-4X + 4X + 16 = 16
16 = 16
Step 3: Simplify and solve for X.
In this case, the equation simplifies to 16 = 16, which is a true statement.
Since the equation is true, it means that any value of X will satisfy the equation.
Step 4: Solve for Y.
Since the equation has infinitely many solutions, Y can be any value.
So, the solution to the equation -4X + Y = 16 is (X, Y) = (any value, any value).
