There are infinite solutions to this equation.

One is x = 1 and y = 1 ( because 2*1 + 32*1 = 34)

The way you worded the question, it appears that you want equation solved for each variable. However, I am wondering if you what you are really looking for are the x and y intercepts. I will do both, just to make sure you get the answer you need.

solve for x

2y + 32x = 34

32x = 34 - 2y subtract 2y from both sides

x =
(34)/(32) -
(2y)/(32) divided both sides by 32

x =
(17)/(16) -
(y)/(16) simplified the fractions

solve for y

2y + 32x = 34

2y = 34 - 32x subtract 32x from both sides

y =
(34)/(2) -
(32x)/(2) divided both sides by 2

y = 17 - 16x simplified the fractions

x-intercept - when y=0

2(0) + 32x = 34

32x = 34

x =
(34)/(32) =
(17)/(16)

y-intercept - when x=0

2y + 32(0) = 34

2y = 34

y =
(34)/(2) = 17
