    Easy Math!!

    i'm soooooo pissed off right now.. i haven't done algebra since high school.. and for some damn reason i can't even figure this out


    2x + y = 36

    i just think the answer is

    y = 36 - 2x

    cuz there's not enough information... right?

    If you have two unknown variables, you need two equations with those unknowns in them.
    so, yes, not enough info.
