First multiply each term by 24(the common denominator found by 8×3) to remove the fractions and make things easier.

This will give you,

Then just continue to simplify and isolate the variable.



Y=10x is correct but don't want you get me the question again
<span>ahh okay i was going to say...thats a straight line haha....okay well lets see....what is 4^0? 1 right? what is 4^1? 4 ...4^2? 16 ...4^3? 64....make a graph with those points</span>
If you have 10 boxes and you shade 3 of these boxes, then the fraction of shaded boxes is 3/10. The fraction of unshaded boxes would just be the remainder of boxes, or 7/10.
It's called "solve the equation for 'y' ". That means move things
around so that you end up with 'y' all alone on one side, and
everything else on the other side.
You started with 9x - 7y = -7
Subtract 9x from each side: - 7y = -9x - 7
Divide each side by -7 : y = 9/7 x + 1
