3x - 4y = 10
-3x - 4y = 8 -> add line 1 to line 2 3x - 4y = 10
0x - 8y = 18 -> -8y = 18 -> y = -18/8 = -9/4 -> 3x - 4*(-9/4) = 10 -> 3x + 9 = 10 -> 3x = 1 -> x = 1/3
An equation?
The equation is -2y + 16 = 10
That word "equals" in there makes it an equation.

If a statement includes an "equals" sign ( = ) then the statement is an equation. By the way . . . it may or may not be a true statement. "10 equals 120" is not true.
That word "equals" in there makes it an equation.
x = sqrt 100
an equation
a=10
An equation where c = 5
Log 200=a can be converted to an exponential equation if we know the base of the log. Let's assume it is 10 and you can change the answer accordingly if it is something else. 10^a=200 would be the exponential equation. For a base b, we would have b^a=200
Divide each side of the equation by 10 .
An equation never equals a number, but its solution often does.-- An equation with a solution of six: [ 3x - 14 = 4 ]-- An equation with a solution of three: [ 14 - 10x = -16 ]-- An equation with both solutions: [ x2 - 9x + 20 = 2 ]An equation that equals 6 is 10 - 4 = 6An equation that equals 3 is 10 - 7 = 3
