Because you are solving the equation for y, you want to have y by itself on one side. The only way to do that in this problem is by subtracting the 7x on both sides.
y+7x=9
-7x -7x ---> y=9-7x
The next part of the question says to find the value of Y for each value of X. Using the given X values, we plug them into the equation we just got in order to find Y.
