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.

Hi Brian this is very helpful. I am in an MAT World Language Education program in FL and while I have Aced all of my classes and passed all of the Subject Area Tests (Spanish, French, Italian) the Math General Knowledge Test is kicking my butt. I am going to be a High School Language teacher yet Florida's Math component forces you to know so much Higher Math that they might as well throw in a Math Certificate as well..thanks Brian..BD
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

Hello can you explain me how did you get 15 in the last step in solving for y
Hopefully you can answer this before tomorrow, does it matter if you line it up like -4y+15 and -3x+15 or does it have to be in the order you wrote it?

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.
I’m so fked up right now. I’m in my second year of uni and I still fking need this......
wait what’s the formula for these type of equations though or what type of algebra is this i forgot when i was taught last semester

Hi! Just ignore the haters! You are doing great! But could you explain how to substitute the value of x or y?
Like how do you cancel out y and x in the answer??

my daughter is given a lot of computer work with no explanations behind wrong or right. would you use this same formula if we’re solving for x and y when we are told y is double x? i gathered 80=2(4y) + 4x bc it’s 4 of each shape that equals to 80

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.

A very clever guy, just slow down a bit, I can tell in this video you tried to go slow at the start but momentum set in as usual !
Hello, professor Brian and everyone Can I ask a question? If 2x + 2y = 10 wouldn't x = 2 and y = 3? because 2(2) + 2(3) would equal to 10 right? since 2x = 2(x) and 2y = 2(y) if x = 2 and y = 3 it would equal to 2(2) + 2(3) = 10?
I understand but I always mess up my positive and negative values. For example the answer I get is let’s say 3/4 but it’s actually -3/4 :( Any advice 😭 Currently in learning support math in college and learning graphing linear inequalities with 2 variables

Going out on a limb here, hopefully you can give me the answer to this problem. I was able to solve for x=1/4. This is the problem, 3x=2y-5 and 5x+2y =3. Could you show how to solve for y with this problem, driving me nuts. Thank you.
What if it’s a negative?? Like a -4y
