My Maths teacher once asked me to explain 4x + 2y = 36 and I told him it was 'complete gibberish'. I got detention. But I'm right.

4x+2y=36
y=36-4x/2
4x+36-4x=36
4x-4x=0 (x=y)
4x+2x=36
36/6=x
x=6

4*6+2*6=36

and then I got a life.

bzzt wrong.
You showed your work so you get partial credit I guess.

4x + 2y =36 describes a line on a standard x/y axis graph. The simplest way to describe a line is to identify two points that are on the line and then the line can simply be drawn through those points.

In this case I'll use the simple approach and solve the equation in the cae where x and y are 0.
4x + 2(0) = 36
4x = 36
x = 9
therefore the first point is (9,0)

The second case
4(0) + 2y = 36
2y = 36
y =18

therefore the second point is (0,18)

connect those points on graph paper using a straight edge and you find that every pair of numbers on the line is a valid solution for the equation.

**swoons**

Dovie: you make my reciprocating con rod extend along the x axis and the circumference and radius rise proportionately. An anticlockwise increase in the angle of dangle of the rod also takes place. From 180 degrees down to about 15 degrees up.
I hope this results in an increase in temperature and humidity in the inner recesses of your flexible receptor mechanism
