To find the value of y when x = 3, we first need to substitute x into the equation.
The equation is:
6 + 4x – 2 + 8y = 44
Substituting x with 3 gives us:
6 + 4(3) – 2 + 8y = 44
Now, we simplify the equation:
6 + 12 – 2 + 8y = 44
This simplifies to:
16 + 8y = 44
Next, we subtract 16 from both sides:
8y = 44 – 16
8y = 28
Now, we divide both sides by 8:
y = 28 / 8
y = 3.5
So, the value of y in the equation when x = 3 is 3.5.
