Write Equations

Example 3

Write write_ex3 in standard form.

Step 1. Eliminate the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common multiple, 6.

write_ex3_1

Step 2. Since the x coefficient is positive, subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

write3_ex-2

Step 3. Subtract 6y from both sides.

write_ex3-3
