Question

For the equation, complete the solution. 7x + y = −18

Answer 1

`x= (- 18 - y )/(7)`

y = - 18 - 7x

Explanation:

7x + y = - 18

7x + y - y = - 18 - y

7x = - 18 - y

`(7x)/(7)= (- 18 - y )/(7)`

`x= (- 18 - y )/(7)`

7x + y = - 18

7x - 7x + y = - 18 - 7x

y = - 18 - 7x

Answer 2

x= - 18/7 - 1/7y, y

or if you are solving for y= -18-7x, x
