Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
6x - y = 98, find x if y = -2.
Plug in y = - 2 into the equation
6x - (-2) = 98
6x + 2 = 98
Subtract 2 from both sides
6x = 96
Divide both sides by 6
x = 16
In order to get the answer to this question you will have to insert the -2 and add instead of subtract and solve.
[tex]6x-y=98[/tex]
[tex]6x+2=98[/tex]
[tex]-2 -2[/tex]
[tex]98-2=96[/tex]
[tex]6x=96[/tex]
[tex]96\div 6 =16[/tex]
[tex]x = 16[/tex]
Therefore the answer is "16."
Hope this helps.
