Question

x+2y=6

solve for variable y

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -x/2 + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange the equation by making 2y on one side and the rest on the other

2y = -x + 6

Divide both sides by 2 to make 'y' on its own

y = -x/2 + 3

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x+2y=6\\\\x-x+2y=6-x\\\\0+2y=6-x\\\\2y=6-x\\\\\frac{1}{2}(2y)=\frac{1}{2}(6-x)\\\\y=\frac{6}{2}-\frac{x}{2}\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3$
