Exercise 5 Page 40

Apply inverse operations to isolate y.

y=-13+9x

Practice makes perfect

To solve the given literal equation for y, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation. Remember, only like terms can be combined.

2y-18x=-26

AddEqn

LHS+18x=RHS+18x

2y=-26+18x

DivEqn

.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.

y=-26+18x/2

WriteSumFrac

Write as a sum of fractions

y=-26/2+18x/2
