Question

Solve for y: 88x - 67y = 756

Answer 1

The given equation is

`88x-67y=756`

To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side and the other 2 terms on the other side

To do that we will subtract both sides by 88x

`\begin{gathered} 88x-88x-67y=756-88x \\ -67y=756-88x \end{gathered}`

We need to make the coefficient of y = 1, then we will divide both sides by -67

`\begin{gathered} (-67y)/(-67)=(756)/(-67)-(88x)/(-67) \\ \\ y=-(756)/(67)+(88)/(67)x \\ \\ y=(88)/(67)x-(756)/(67) \end{gathered}`

The answer is

`y=(88)/(67)x-(756)/(67)`
