Solving Linear Equations for y

The image shows a step-by-step process of solving a linear equation for y. The initial equation given is: 3x + 2y = 10 The first step is to isolate y by moving the term involving x to the other side of the equation. This is done by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation: 2y = 10 - 3x Then, to solve for y, divide both sides of the equation by 2: y = (10 - 3x) / 2 This results in the final expression for y: y = 5 - (3/2)x This equation now expresses y in terms of x.
