Question

Solve 6x - 7y= 16 for y.

Answer 1

6x - 7y = 16

Subtract 6x from both sides.

-7y = -6x + 16

Divide both sides by -7

y = 6/7x - 16/7

Answer 2

y = 6/7x -16/7

Explanation:

6x - 7y= 16

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-7y-6x = -6x+16

-7y = -6x+16

Divide by -7

-7y/-7 = -6x/-7 + 16/-7

y = 6/7x -16/7
