SUMMARY

The equation (6-2x-2y=0) can be solved by expressing one variable in terms of the other. Specifically, it can be rearranged to y = (2x - 6) / 2 or x = (2y + 6) / 2. The solution set represents a linear function, which is y = 3 - x. This indicates that for every value of x, there is a corresponding value of y, forming a straight line on a Cartesian plane.

You can write it in a way so that one variable is dependent on the other:

ie)
[tex]y = \frac{-6 + 2x}{-2}[/tex]

or

[tex]x = \frac{-6+2y}{-2}[/tex]

So for the first one you have a function, [itex]f(x)[/itex] that for every [itex]f(x=value)[/itex] you have a solution.
 
The solution set to that equation is a line, namely y=3-x.
