What Mathematical Techniques Can Solve This Equation?

[tiwai016]

hi everyone,
I just thought of an equation and try to solve it , the equation is 3(y)-4(x)=2(y-2)+3(x+y/3).
the answers I have had so far of both equations are not the same, can someone help me out,
I have a questions , what steps under what topic in math can be used to solve the equation

You need to clarify what you are talking about. You displayed one equation and are asking about two equations.
Show what you have done - it would us understand what you are trying to do.

All that is needed it simple algebra. What you have written is true for all y and x=4/7.

Show us what you are doing.

There are a few steps and topics in math that can be used to solve this complex equation. First, you can start by simplifying the equation by combining like terms on both sides. This will give you a simpler equation to work with. Next, you can use the distributive property to expand the parentheses on both sides of the equation. This will give you an equation with fewer variables.

From there, you can use algebraic techniques such as adding or subtracting terms on both sides, isolating variables, and using the properties of equality to solve for the unknown variable. It may also be helpful to use a graphing calculator or software to visualize the equation and find possible solutions.

Other topics that may be helpful in solving this equation include linear equations, systems of equations, and properties of operations. It may also be useful to review basic algebraic rules and concepts, such as the order of operations and the properties of real numbers.

Overall, solving complex equations requires a combination of skills, techniques, and knowledge from various areas of mathematics. It may take some trial and error, but with patience and persistence, you will be able to find the correct solution. Good luck!
