Question

Solve for 7 + y = -2 -3x

Answer 1

For x:

`-2-3x=7+y` add 2 to both sides

`-3x=9+y` divide both sides by (-3)

`\boxed{x=-3-(1)/(3)y}`

For y:

`7+y=-2-3x` subtract 7 from both sides

`\boxed{y=-9-3x}`

Answer 2

y = -3x-9

Explanation:

To solve for y, we need to subtract 7 from each side

7-7 + y = -2-7 -3x

y = -3x-9
