7/x = 5/y
Can be changed to:
5x = 7y
So, x = (7/5)y and
y = (5/7)x
a = 2x + 6xz
a = x(2 + 6z) <em>factored out "x" on right side</em>
a/(2 + 6z) = x <em>divided both sides by (2 + 6z)</em>
Answer: x =
4x=6x-14
First isolate the variables onto one side and the numbers on the other so subtract 4x from both sides of the equation and add 14 to both sides of the equation to get 14=2x then you are going to want to completely isolate the variable so you divide 2 on both sides to get an answer of X=7
