Question

X/7- y/5=1 solve for y

Answer 1

y=-5+5/7x

Explanation:

x/7-y/5=1

5x-7x=35

-7y=35-5x

y=-5+5/7x

Answer 2

y = 5/7 x -5

Explanation:

X/7- y/5=1

Multiply each side by 35 to clear the fractions

35(X/7- y/5) =1*35

5x - 7y = 35

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x-7y = -5x+35

-7y = -5x+35

Divide each side by -7

-7y/-7 = -5x/-7 +35/-7

y = 5/7 x -5
