Question

3x-7y=2 solve for x. Can you show how you do it?

Answer 1

so, 3 * 4 = 12 , 7 * 1.5 = 10. 12-10 = 2 so x= 4

Answer 2

1) 3x-7y=2
2) If you're solving for x, you want to isolate it, so move the -7y to the right:
3x = 7y + 2
3) Now, to get x by itself, you divide both sides by 3
3x/3 = (7y + 2)/3
4) You get:
x = 7/3y + 2/3
