It means you manipulate the equation in such a way that "y" is alone to the left of the equal sign, and everything else (including "x") is to the right.

What does it mean when foor an equation to express y in terms of x?

It means that you manipulate the equation in such a way that "y" appears to the left, and everything else, including "x", to the right, of the equal sign.


What does express x as a function of y mean?

It means you should rearrange the equation so that x is on one side of the equal sign, and everything else on the other, with no "x" on the right side of the equation. For instance, if I was told to express x as a function of y and given the equation: x-4y=6 I would express x as a function of y by rearranging the equation to read: x = 6+4y


What does output mean using math terms?

The result of an input x of an equation; f(x)


X plus 5y equals 0?

x + 5y = 0 so x = -5y or y = -x/5 You can express x in terms of y or y in terms of x but it is not possible to solve a single linear equation in two variables.


What does it mean when they ask write an equation in terms of 'x'?

X = whatever times y + the constant (b)


How do you solve the equation x-7y equals 3?

One linear equation in two variables cannot be solved. You can only express one of the variables in terms of the other.


What is the answre to x plus 11 equals 2?

x+11=2 express first the equation in terms of x, where, x=2-11 then, x=-9 the value of x now is -9.


What is the answer to -9 - 7x equals -5?

-9-7x=-5 express first the equation in terms of x, where, 7x=-9+5 then, 7x=-4 thus, x=-4/7


What does equation mean in math terms?

An equation is any algebraic statement that contains an '='. For example 2 + x = 5 and x98 = 7874.6 are equations but 2 + x and x98 are not and are called expressions.


How do you the solve the equation x equals 2y in terms of x?

To solve for y in terms of x, divide both sides of the equation by 2: y = x/2.If x=2y then you have already solved for x.


What is the value of x in the equation 5(x plus 2) and minus 3x 12?

Without an equality sign the given terms can't be classed as an equation but if you mean 5(x +2) -3x = 12 then the value of x works out as 1


Xsquared - v equals wsquared what is X how did you work this out?

It is not possible to solve for a value of X since there are three unknowns, X, v and W and only one equation. All that can be done is to make x the subject of the equation - that is, to express X in terms of the other two variables. X2 - v = W2 X2 = W2 + v X = +/- sqrt(W2 + v)
