Answer:

i think this is the correct answer

Explanation:

Simplifying

8x + -7y = 23

Solving

8x + -7y = 23

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '7y' to each side of the equation.

8x + -7y + 7y = 23 + 7y

Combine like terms: -7y + 7y = 0

8x + 0 = 23 + 7y

8x = 23 + 7y

Divide each side by '8'.

x = 2.875 + 0.875y

Simplifying

x = 2.875 + 0.875y
