Variables are the unknows, on this case we have 2 variables
Y and X
variables are always represented by letters
X is
we write the original equation
now we try to x be alone to solve, then we subtract 7y on both sides
now we divide on both sides by 3 to solve x
Y is
write original equation
subtract 3x on both sides to remove 3x on right
and divide by 7 to solve y
