Question

Solve for x 3x-7=12y-4

Answer 1

3x-7=12y-4

add 7 to both sides to isolate 3x

3x=12y+3

divide by 3 on both sides to get rid of it from x

x=4y+1

Answer 2

x=4y+1

Explanation:

3x−7=12y−4

Step 1: Add 7 to both sides.

3x−7+7=12y−4+7

3x=12y+3

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x

3

=

12y+3

x=4y+1
