2x + By = -6, What is the value of B?

Question

I just need the value of ''B''.

Answer 1

Since no value of x or y is given, the only answer we can give you is B in terms of x and y.

 

2x + By = -6

 

By = -6 - 2x

 

B = (-6 - 2x) / y

 

B = -2(3 + x) / y

 

This cannot be taken any farther without additional information.

Answer 2

Hi Conner,

 

B is a coefficient of the variable y. It can be any number depending on the value of x and y.
