Solving Linear Equations for Y

What is the main objective of this lesson?

• To solve equations for x

• To solve equations for y

• To solve equations for z

• To solve equations for a constant

What is the first step in solving an equation for y?

• Divide both sides by x

• Multiply both sides by y

• Add a constant to both sides

• Move the x portion to the other side

In the equation 2x + y = 7, what operation is needed to move 2x to the other side?

• Add 2x

• Subtract 2x

• Multiply by 2x

• Divide by 2x

After moving 2x in the equation 2x + y = 7, what is the resulting equation?

• y = 7 + 2x

• y = 7 - 2x

• y = -2x - 7

• y = 2x - 7

In the equation -4x + 3y = 6, what operation is needed to move -4x to the other side?

• Divide by 4x

• Subtract 4x

• Add 4x

• Multiply by 4x

After moving -4x in the equation -4x + 3y = 6, what is the resulting equation?

• 3y = -4x - 6

• 3y = 6 - 4x

• 3y = 6 + 4x

• 3y = 4x - 6

What is the final step in solving the equation -4x + 3y = 6 for y?

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 3

• Add 3 to both sides

What is the simplified form of 6/3 in the equation -4x + 3y = 6?

• 3

• 2

• 4

• 1

Why is it important to leave fractions in their improper form when solving for y?

• It eliminates the need for further calculations

• It simplifies the graphing process

• It makes the equation easier to read

• It ensures the equation is correct

What will be covered in future lessons according to the conclusion?

• Solving for z in equations

• Solving formulas for different variables

• Solving for constants in equations

• Solving for x in equations
