Solve  for  x  in  terms  of  y    Question  2A:    Solve for x in terms of ya) 3xy = 8When you are solving for x in terms of y, it is merely asking you to solve for x. However, you will be left with an algebraic equation with a y in it on the other side. The equation written another way looks like this:3× x× y = 8

x× y = 83

x = 83÷y1

Multiply the reciprocal

∴ x = 83y

 

Question  2D:    1+ y2+ x

= 3y

1+ y = 3y(2+ x)1+ y = 6y+3xy1+ y = 3y(2+ x)1+ y3y

= 2+ x

1+ y3y

−21= x

1+ y3y

−6y3y

= x

1− 5y3y

= x
