Solve each literal equation for the indicated variable
2x-3y=4 for x
The answer is suppose to be x=3/2y+2
I don't understand how you do this problem?
you have it exactly.
What do you mean?
x= 3/2 y + 2
To solve the given equation, 2x-3y=4, for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Here's how we can do it step-by-step:
Step 1: Start with the equation: 2x-3y=4.
Step 2: Add 3y to both sides of the equation to move the -3y term to the right side: 2x = 3y + 4.
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the x variable: (2x)/2 = (3y + 4)/2.
Simplifying this further, we get: x = (3y + 4)/2.
In the given form, x = (3/2)y + 2, the expression (3/2)y + 2 is the simplified form of (3y + 4)/2.
