Q. For a given input value x, the function h outputs a value y to satisfy the following equation.6x+y=4x+11yWrite a formula for h(x) in terms of x.h(x)=
Isolate y: First, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation to find a formula for h(x) in terms of x. The given equation is 6x+y=4x+11y.
Subtract 4x: Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation to start isolating y.6x+y−4x=4x+11y−4xThis simplifies to 2x+y=11y.
Subtract y: Now, subtract y from both sides to get all the y terms on one side.2x+y−y=11y−yThis simplifies to 2x=10y.
Divide by 10: To solve for y, divide both sides by 10.y=102xSimplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.y=5x
Write h(x): Now that we have isolated y, we can write the function h(x) in terms of x.h(x)=5x
