5x + 6y = 18
Now that u have 2 variables and only one equation, u will not be able to get a value of x or y as an integer or fraction. Instead u can express y in terms of x or x in terms of y.
So, as u are asked to express y; here is the solution.
5x + 6y = 18
Subtracting 5x on both sides to isolate the y-term.
5x + 6y - 5x = 18 - 5x
5x and - 5x will cancel out.
6y = 18 - 5x
Now, we are asked to find the value of y only and not 6y.
So, we divide both sides by 6 to get rid of the coefficient of y i.e., 6.
6y / 6 = 1/6 [18 - 5x]
y = 1/6 [18 - 5x]
or,
y = [18 / 6] - [5x / 6]
y = 3 - 5/6 x
Thats it dear.
