( 2 y + 3 x ) 2 = 9 ⟺ 2 y + 3 x = 3 ∨ 2 y + 3 x = − 3 2 y = − 3 x + 3 ∨ 2 y = − 3 x − 3 y = − 2 3 x + 2 3 ∨ y = − 2 3 x − 2 3
( 2 y + 3 x ) 2 = 9 ( 2 y + 3 x ) 2 = 9 2 y + 3 x = 3 2 y = 3 − 3 x y = 2 3 − 3 x
To solve for y in the equation ( 2 y + 3 x ) 2 = 9 , we take the square root of both sides, leading to two linear equations for y . The solutions are y = 2 3 − 2 3 x and y = − 2 3 − 2 3 x . Each solution corresponds to a different line in the coordinate plane.
