How to solve y=-2x+12

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y=-2x+12$$

Solve for x

$x=-\frac{y}{2}+6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-2x+12=y$$

Subtract $12$ from both sides.

$$-2x=y-12$$

Divide both sides by $-2$.

$$\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{y-12}{-2}$$

Dividing by $-2$ undoes the multiplication by $-2$.

$$x=\frac{y-12}{-2}$$

Divide $y-12$ by $-2$.

$$x=-\frac{y}{2}+6$$
