Solve 3a+6y=33

$$3 a + 6 y = 33$$

Solve for a

$$a=11-2y$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 6y from both sides.

$$3a=33-6y$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$\frac{3a}{3}=\frac{33-6y}{3}$$

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.

$$a=\frac{33-6y}{3}$$

Divide 33-6y by 3.

$$a=11-2y$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{11-a}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 3a from both sides.

$$6y=33-3a$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{33-3a}{6}$$

Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.

$$y=\frac{33-3a}{6}$$

Divide 33-3a by 6.

$$y=\frac{11-a}{2}$$
