Question

If 12y=75+5x+2x-1. What is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{12y - 74}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

12y = 75 + 5x + 2x - 1

combine like terms:

12y = 74 + 7x

subtract 74 from both sides:

7x = 12y - 74

divide both sides by 7:

x = $\frac{12y - 74}{7}$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are trying to put it in y = mx + b form

So first we just have to collect like terms

12y = 74 + 7x

Divide both sides by 12

y = 7/12x + 74/12

We have to reduce to its lowest terms

y = 7/12x + 37/6
