Answer: [tex]x=\frac{16-4y}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
- We want to isolate for x, meaning x must be the only variable on one side of the equation
- Simplifying an equation would mean to write it in its simplest form which in this case would be when x is by itself.
Calculations:
[tex]3x +4y -4y=16-4y[/tex] - Subtract 4y from both sides to get rid of it on one side.
[tex]3x=16-4y[/tex] - Simplify the equation.
[tex]\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{16-4y}{3}[/tex] - Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.
[tex]x=\frac{16-4y}{3}[/tex] - Simplify the equation again and you will receive your final answer.
