Graph Using a Table of Values x+3y=9

$x + 3 y = 9$

Step 1

Substitute $- 2$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$(- 2) + 3 y = 9$

Step 2

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$- 2 + 3 y = 9$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $2$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 9 + 2$

Add $9$ and $2$ .

$3 y = 11$

Divide each term in $3 y = 11$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 11$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{11}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{11}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{11}{3}$

Step 3

Substitute $- 1$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$(- 1) + 3 y = 9$

Step 4

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$- 1 + 3 y = 9$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $1$ to both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 9 + 1$

Add $9$ and $1$ .

$3 y = 10$

Divide each term in $3 y = 10$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 10$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{10}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{10}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{10}{3}$

Step 5

Substitute $0$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$(0) + 3 y = 9$

Step 6

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Add $0$ and $3 y$ .

$3 y = 9$

Divide each term in $3 y = 9$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 9$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{9}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{9}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{9}{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $9$ by $3$ .

$y = 3$

Step 7

Substitute $1$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$(1) + 3 y = 9$

Step 8

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$1 + 3 y = 9$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 9 - 1$

Subtract $1$ from $9$ .

$3 y = 8$

Divide each term in $3 y = 8$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 8$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Step 9

Substitute $2$ for $x$ and find the result for $y$ .

$(2) + 3 y = 9$

Step 10

Solve the equation for $y$ .

Remove parentheses.

$2 + 3 y = 9$

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $2$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 y = 9 - 2$

Subtract $2$ from $9$ .

$3 y = 7$

Divide each term in $3 y = 7$ by $3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $3 y = 7$ by $3$ .

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{3 y}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{7}{3}$

Step 11

This is a table of possible values to use when graphing the equation.

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - 2 & \frac{11}{3} \\ - 1 & \frac{10}{3} \\ 0 & 3 \\ 1 & \frac{8}{3} \\ 2 & \frac{7}{3} \end{array}$
