No direct answers please. Just need to know how to solve it.

$$\Large 4x-\frac{6}{y}=15$$ $$\Large 4x-\frac{6}{2}=15$$ Did you replace y with 2 already?

4. anonymous

Yes

5. anonymous

How do i do it

6. Zale101

$$\Large 4x-\frac{6}{2}=15$$ Let's get rid of the simple fractions. What is 6/2 ?

7. anonymous

3!!!!!!!!!!!

8. Zale101

Good. That means $$\Large 4x-3=15$$

9. Zale101

Now, combine like terms.

10. anonymous

1 and 15?

11. Zale101

-3 and 15 are like terms. Move -3 to the other side by adding 3 to both sides of the equation.

12. Zale101

Can you do that?

13. anonymous

18 and 6

14. Zale101

$$\large 4x−3+3=15+3$$ $$\large 4x=18$$ What is the next step?

15. anonymous

Sorry I am kind of confused because I am tired and have been working all day.

16. anonymous

4=18

17. anonymous

wait sorry

18. Zale101

You divide both sides by 4 to leave x alone. $$\large 4x=18$$ $$\LARGE\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{18}{4}$$
