| *?* How do you sove for Y?* | 2y-3=6y+7
4 3 |
** You can change the equation by Cross Multipying!**
-multipy the
3 by 2y-3 (that will go on one side of the =)
-multipy the
4 by 6y+7 (that will go on the other side of the =)
| **Your problem will then look like the following** | 3(2y-3)=4(6y+7) |
**You then do the distributive property to get rid of
the ( ).**
-3x2y=6y and 3x-3=-9
-4x6y=24y and 4x7=28
| **Your problem would then look like the following** | 6y-9=24y+28 |
**You now need to get the variables all on one side.
| To do this you need to subtract 6y from both sides. | 6y-9=24y+28
-6y -6y -9=18y+28 |
| **After you have subtracted the 6y from both sides you now need to get the 28 to the side were the -9 is because you want the variable by itself. | -9=18y+28
-28 -28 -37=18y |
**You still have not gotten the variale by itself.**
| **You must divide -37 by both sides. That will then get the variable on one side.** | -37=18y
-37 -37 |
**The -37 cancle out.
| **Divide 18y by -37 which will leave you with the variable on one side of the = sign and answer on the other side. | 18y
-37 y = -.49 |
***You can take two/four decimal places behind the decimal,
which ever you perfer.***
| **How do you solve literal equations? | K=1 V * 2-G * M
2 2 r |
**This is an equation for Conservation of Energy. (Notice
it only has variables to solve for.)
| **How do you solve for | :G |
**Rewrite the equation to make it more simple.
| **Multiple both sides my the 2 to get ride of the fraction
of K
2 |
K=V- GM
r |
**The G and the M are joined together in the fraction because all
you are doing is multiplying the two variables so therefor they can both
be in the fraction which will simplize your problem.**
| **The next step is to get the V variable on the side with the K variables. To do this you must subtract the V from both sides. | K=V- GM
-V -V r |
** Your problem will then look like the following.**
K-V= -GM
r
| **Now you must multiply the r variable by both sides. | K-V= -GM
* r r * r |
**Your problem will then look like the following.**
r(K-V)= -GM
| **Now you must divide both sides by the M variable. | r(K-V)= -GM
M M |
**Your problem will then look like the following.**
r(K-V)= -G
M
| **The last step that must be done to get the G variable by itself is divide by a negative to get ride of it. Your compelted equation will then look like the following. | -r(K-V)=G
M |

**THIS LINE CONTAINS THE POINTS (-2,4) AND HAVING A Y-
INTERCEPT OF 8.
| **REMEMBER THAT..... Y=mx + b** ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PLUG IN THE VARIABLE'S NUMBERS**SOLVE FOR M** | Y=4 X=-2 B=8
4=m(-2) + 8 Y=2x+8 |
**YOU CAN ALSO WRITE THE EQUATION IN POINT SLOPE.
| **ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PLUG IN THE NUMBERS GIVEN THE EQUATION Y1-Y2=m(X1-X2)**TO DETERMINE IF THE VARIABLE IS NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE YOU JUST SWITCH THE SIGN. | Y-4=2(X+2)
|
**THE LAST EQUATION YOU CAN WRITE IS STANDARD FORM.**
| **WHEN DOING STANDARD FORM YOU JUST GET ALL OF YOUR VARIABLES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE = SIGN.**THE SIGNS CHANGES BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT A NEGATIVE IN THE FRONT. | 2X-Y=-8 |
