QuestionSolve for yy in the equation 3x4y=±203x - 4y = \pm20.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is 3x4y=±203x -4y = \pm20 . We are solving for yy
3. The symbol ±\pm means that we will have two solutions, one for +20+20 and one for 20-20

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate yy in the equation. We can do this by subtracting xx from both sides of the equation.
x4yx=±20xx -4y -x = \pm20 -x

STEP 3

implify the equation.
y=±203x-y = \pm20 -3x

STEP 4

Next, we need to get rid of the 4-4 coefficient on yy. We can do this by dividing every term by 4-4.
4y4=±203x4\frac{-4y}{-4} = \frac{\pm20 -3x}{-4}

STEP 5

implify the equation.
y=±20+3x4y = \frac{-\pm20 +3x}{4}

STEP 6

Now, we can split the equation into two separate equations, one for +20+20 and one for 20-20.
For +20+20y=20+3x4y = \frac{-20 +3x}{4}For 20-20y=20+3x4y = \frac{20 +3x}{4}

STEP 7

Now we have the solutions for yy in terms of xx for the equation 3x4y=±203x -4y = \pm20.
For +20+20y=20+3x4y = \frac{-20 +3x}{4}For 20-20y=20+3x4y = \frac{20 +3x}{4}
