i made some corrections for the previous postage can you check those when you get a chance please. Also
for this one:
my options of answers are:
A)2y + 6/3
B)3x- 6 /2
C)2 + 2y
D)2/3y + 6
Directions: Solve for x: 3x - 2y =6
3x - 2y = 6
+2y +2y
3x = 6 +2y
-- ------
3 3
so my answer for x would be:
2y + 6 divided by 3, which will be answer letter A.
Answers A and C appear to be the same to me. The correct answer is (6+2y)/3 =2+2y (or 2y+2).
I don't get it. can you explain to me when you get a little chance please.
Expressions such as "I don't get it" don't tell me much. What don't you get? Be specific. I was simply saying I thought both answer A and answer C were the same. Don't you think they are the same? Since you picked answer A you are correct.
what i don't get is when you said about the following:
Answers A and C appear to be the same to me. The correct answer is (6+2y)/3 =2+2y (or 2y+2).
and then you said that the answer is what i had answer A. This is why i'm confused
because in the answer option there is one that says 2 +2y
You are correct. The answer is A and you are also right that A and C are not the same.
I apologize for the confusion. You are right that answer options A and C are different. Answer A is 2y + 6/3, while answer C is 2 + 2y.
To solve the equation 3x - 2y = 6, you correctly added 2y to both sides of the equation to eliminate the term -2y on the left side:
3x = 6 + 2y
To solve for x, you can divide both sides of the equation by 3:
3x/3 = (6 + 2y)/3
This simplifies to:
x = (6/3) + (2y/3)
Simplifying further, you get:
x = 2 + (2y/3)
Therefore, the correct answer is 2 + (2y/3), which matches with answer option A.
Again, I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous response.
