Solving For Y Created by Mrs. Ulshafer March 14, 2010
Solve each equation for y y  – 2x = 1 +2x  + 2x y  = 2x + 1 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of -2x is +2x Can't combine +2x & 1 (not like terms) Since the y is positive with no other numbers in front you are done.
Solve each equation for y 3x  + y  = 3 -3x  -3x y  = -3x + 3 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of 3x is -3x Can't combine -3x & 3 (not like terms) y is alone and positive, nothing left to do
Solve each equation for y 4x  + 2y  = 1  -4x  -4x + 2y  =  -4x   + 1 2  2  2 y  = -2x + 1/2 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of +4x is -4x Can't combine -4x & 1 (not like terms) Opposite of 2 times y, is division Simplify as much as possible. (No decimals, leave as fractions)
Solve each equation for y ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of +x is -x Can't combine -x & 6 (not like terms) Opposite of 3 times y, is divide Simplify as much as possible. (No decimals, leave as fractions)
Solve each equation for y 2x  + 3y  = 10 -2x  -2x 3y  = -2x + 10 /3  /3  /3 y  = -2x/3  + 10/3 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of +2x is -2x Can't combine -2x & 10 (not like terms) Opposite of 3 times y, is divide Simplify as much as possible. (No decimals, leave as fractions)
Solve each equation for y 2y  – 4x = 6 +4x  +4x 2y  = 4x + 6 /2  /2  /2 y = 2x + 3 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of -4x is +4x Can't combine 4x & 6 (not like terms) Opposite of 2 times y, is divide Simplify as much as possible. (No decimals, leave as fractions)
Solve each equation for y 6y  – 3x = -9 + 3x  +3x 6y  = 3x – 9 /6  /6  /6 y  = 1x/2  - 3/2 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of -3x is +3x Can't combine 3x & -9 (not like terms) Opposite of 6 times y, is division Simplify as much as possible. Reduce fractions  (No decimals, leave as fractions)
Solve each equation for y -5x  – 8y  = 15 +5x  +5x –  8y  = 5x + 15 /-8  /-8  /-8 y  = -5x/8  - 15/8 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of -5x is +5x Can't combine 5x & 15 (not like terms) Opposite of -8 times y, is divide Negative / positive = negative (No decimals, leave as fractions)
Solve each equation for y 2x  – y  = 7 -2x  -2x -y  = -2x + 7 /-1  /-1  /-1 y  = 2x - 7 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of 2x is -2x Can't combine -2x & 7 (not like terms) divide both sides by negative 1 to make y positive Negative / negative = positive (2x) Positive / negative = negative (-7)
Solve each equation for y -2x  – 3y  = -6 +2x  +2x -3y  = 2x – 6 /-3  /-3  /-3 y  = -2x/3 + 2 Leave the y (in red), move everything else Opposite of -2x is 2x Can't combine 2x & 7 (not like terms) Opposite of -3 times y, is division positive / negative =negative negative / negative =positive (+2) Divide or reduce fractions, no decimals.
