Assuming your solving for y:
py+7=6y+q
-6y -7 -6y -7
(p-6)y = q-7
divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)

Answer:

The required equation is
y =((q-7))/((p-6)).

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.


py+7=6y+q

We need to simplify the equation and convert it into a linear equation with unknown coefficients.

Subtract 6y from both sides.


py - 6y + 7 = q

Subtract 7 from both sides.


py - 6y = q - 7

Take y common from left side.


y(p-6) = q-7

Divide both sides by p-6.


y =((q-7))/((p-6))

Hence, the required equation is
y =((q-7))/((p-6)).
