That is easy!! :)
y=3 and x=-7
When you find the factors of something like this, you have to just get the letter alone.
For example: y-3. You have to first write it as y-3=0, then you add 3 from BOTH sides of the = so that you can make the -3 go away and y will be alone. So, it will look like this: y-3+3=0+3. Then, you solve it for y (which just means that you want y by itself on one side of the = ). So, -3+3=0, which means they disappear from that side; since 0+3=3, that's what that side turns into, so what you end up with is y=3
Same thing goes for the x+7 equation:
x+7=0
x+7-7=0-7
x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:
<span>87 less than the quotient of an unknown number and 43 is -75
Converting that to mathematical equation:
87 - (x / 43) = -75
Evaluating the equation, we can the value of x.
87 - (x/43) = -75
-x/43 = -75 - 87
-x/43 = -162
-x = -6966
x = 6966</span>
