Answer:
y = 1/3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright, so we have an equation with two variables (y and x) and I need to solve for y in terms of x. That is, I need to isolate y one one side with all the other terms on the other side.
First, let's distribute the 1/3 on the right side of the equation onto the x and 6 inside the parentheses.
y + 2 = 1/3(x + 6)
y + 2 = 1/3(x) + 1/3(6)
y + 2 = 1/3x + 2
Now, let's isolate y on the left side by removing 2 from both sides.
y + 2 = 1/3x + 2
y + 2 - 2 = 1/3x + 2 - 2
y = 1/3x
So, y is equal to 1/3x. Hopefully that's helpful! :)
