hello

the question here is an equation and we are asked to solve for y

we'll follow some steps here


7x-2y=17

step 1

take y to the left side of the equation and bring 17 to the right hand side of the equation

note: the sign changes once they cross equality sign


\begin{gathered} 7x-2y=17 \\ 7x-17=2y \end{gathered}

step 2

divide both sides by the coeffiecient of y which is 2


\begin{gathered} 2y=7x-17 \\ (2y)/(2)=(7x-17)/(2) \\ y=(7x-17)/(2) \end{gathered}

from the calculations above, the value of y = (7x - 17)/2
