To find [tex]\( y \)[/tex] using the given equation [tex]\( y = mx + b \)[/tex] with the provided values [tex]\( m = 7 \)[/tex], [tex]\( x = 6 \)[/tex], and [tex]\( b = 2 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Substitute the given values into the equation:
[tex]\[
y = 7 \cdot 6 + 2
\][/tex]
2. First, perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
7 \cdot 6 = 42
\][/tex]
3. Next, add the result to the constant term [tex]\( b \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
42 + 2 = 44
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[
y = 44
\][/tex]
