2x-6y equals 5 can someone answer this?

Answer 1

No. You can't solve an equation with two unknowns because there are an infinite number of possible answers. You need two equations based on the same unknowns which you then solve as simultaneous equations.

i think it is something like this from what i can remember.

its all about changing the sum round to make it balance out on each side.

this is how i worked it out.

2x-6y=5

6y=5x-2(squared)

5x-2(squared) = 1

6y-1=5

(not sure if its right been a long time since i have done these but ) :)

Improved Answer:-

It is a straight line equation in the form of 2x-6y = 5

2x-6y = 5

-6y = -3x+5

y = 1/2x-5/6

So the slope is 1/2 and the y intercept is-5/6
