Question

Can anybody show me the steps to answering this question? 7x - 2z = 4 - xy (solve for x)

Answer 1

Answer: 2z+4/y+7

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to solve for x

7x-2z=4-xy

Add xy to both sides:

7x-2z+xy=-xy+4+xy= xy+7x-2z=4

Then you add 2z to both sides:

xy+7x-2z+2z=4+2z

xy+7x=2z+4

Then you factor out variable x

x(y+7)=2z+4

You divide both sides by y+7

x(y+7)/y+7= 2z+4/y+7

Which we would get x=2z+4/y+7
