Question

Solve for x and y 2x+7=3y-1

Answer 1

To solve for x and y, isolate each variable and simplify your equation:

Solve for x:
2x+7=3y-1 (Subtract 7 on each side)
2x=3y-8 (Divide by 2 on each side)
x=$\frac{3y}{2} -4$

Solve for y:
2x+7=3y-1
2x+8=3y (Add 1 on each side)
$\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$=y (Divide by 3)
y=$\frac{2x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$
