Answer:

For x:
x = (-1)/(3)y +10

For y:
y = -3x +30

Explanation:

If you want to solve the equation for x, then perform these steps:


Y-21 = -3 (x-3)


(y-21)/(-3) = x - 3 Divide between (-3) on both sides of the equation


(-1)/(3)(y-21) +3 = x Sum 3 on both sides of the equation
x = (-1)/(3)(Y-21) +3\\\\x = (-1)/(3)y+(21)/(3) + 3\\\\x = (-1)/(3)y +10


If you want to solve the equation for y, then perform these steps:


y-21 = -3(x-3)


y = -3(x-3) +21 Sum 21 on both sides of the equation


y = -3x+9+21\\y = -3x +30
