Multiplying both sides by y+7, we get 2-y=(3y+21)/5 and then by multiplying both sides by 5 we get 10-5y=3y+21. After that, subtract 21 from both sides as well as add 5y to both sides to get -11=8y, so divide by 8 to get -11/8=y
Answer:
Zero
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) + -2
Reorder the terms:
1 + 12x = 3(4x + 1) + -2
Reorder the terms:
1 + 12x = 3(1 + 4x) + -2
1 + 12x = (1 * 3 + 4x * 3) + -2
1 + 12x = (3 + 12x) + -2
Reorder the terms:
1 + 12x = 3 + -2 + 12x
Combine like terms: 3 + -2 = 1
1 + 12x = 1 + 12x
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 12x = 1 + -1 + 12x
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 12x = 1 + -1 + 12x
12x = 1 + -1 + 12x
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
12x = 0 + 12x
12x = 12x
Add '-12x' to each side of the equation.
12x + -12x = 12x + -12x
Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0
0 = 12x + -12x
Combine like terms: 12x + -12x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0

Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.
... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)
... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms
... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3
Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.
... 2x +4(-6) = -12
... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24
... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).
