Transcript text: $6-\frac{2 y-5 x}{2}=7 x+1$ and $18 x-4 y=9$
Solution
Solution Steps
To express the first equation in slope-intercept form, we need to isolate \( y \) on one side of the equation. The slope-intercept form is \( y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the y-intercept.
Solution Approach
Start with the given equation: \( 6 - \frac{2y - 5x}{2} = 7x + 1 \).
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction.
Rearrange the equation to isolate \( y \) on one side.
Step 1: Start with the Given Equation
We start with the given equation:
\[ 6 - \frac{2y - 5x}{2} = 7x + 1 \]
Step 2: Eliminate the Fraction
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
\[ 2 \left( 6 - \frac{2y - 5x}{2} \right) = 2 \left( 7x + 1 \right) \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 12 - (2y - 5x) = 14x + 2 \]
Step 3: Simplify the Equation
Simplify the equation by distributing and combining like terms:
\[ 12 - 2y + 5x = 14x + 2 \]
Step 4: Isolate \( y \)
Rearrange the equation to isolate \( y \):
\[ 12 + 5x - 14x - 2 = 2y \]
\[ 10 - 9x = 2y \]
Step 5: Solve for \( y \)
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( y \):
\[ y = \frac{10 - 9x}{2} \]
\[ y = 5 - \frac{9x}{2} \]
