Question

Solve for x and y

2x+7=3y-1

Answer 1

To solve for x and y, isolate each variable and simplify your equation:

Solve for x:
2x+7=3y-1 (Subtract 7 on each side)
2x=3y-8 (Divide by 2 on each side)
x=
`(3y)/(2) -4`

Solve for y:
2x+7=3y-1
2x+8=3y (Add 1 on each side)

`(2x)/(3) + (8)/(3)`=y (Divide by 3)
y=
`(2x)/(3) + (8)/(3)`
