Solving an equation for y and x using two steps

👉 Learn how to solve literal equations. A literal equation is an equation where the unknown values are represented by variables. To solve a literal equation means to make one of the variables the subject of the formula. To do this, we use the simple algebraic process of undoing all the algebraic operations related to the variable we want to solve for.

    I think the reason why some people don't get your explanation, is that you needed to tell them at the end that you have to multiply one of the variable with the value we found. For example: 3 (5 - 4/3 y) + 4y =15

    How does it help to "solve" for a variable (x) in terms of another variable (y)? Isn't the goal to get the variables to equal some known quantity? At the end of your equations, both variables are still unknown.

    if yall want to get the solutions you can always make y=0 to solve for x, and vice versa make x=0 to solve for y. since it is a two- variable equation its solution is two pairs of coordinates where a pair must always have a 0 for y or a 0 for the x in the two points the line touches the y and x axis.

    Im in 8th grade and I wish my teacher teached like this. Just straight up write it on the board and go through the steps, but no. We have to do all this dumb google slides crap that helps nobody. Thanks you helped me alot.
