2x÷-3y=22
2x = -3y * 22
Do you mean 2x/(-3y) = 22? That would give you oobleck's response.
See 8:32 AM post.
To solve the equation 2x ÷ (-3y) = 22, we need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Simplify the equation by performing the division first.
2x ÷ (-3y) = 22
2x / (-3y) = 22
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by (-3y) to eliminate the denominator.
(2x / (-3y)) * (-3y) = 22 * (-3y)
2x = -66y
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the x variable.
(2x)/2 = (-66y)/2
x = -33y
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x ÷ (-3y) = 22 is x = -33y.
