Answer:

complete the missing value in the solution

Explanation:

Simplifying

6x + 7y = 4x + 4y

Solving

6x + 7y = 4x + 4y

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

6x + -4x + 7y = 4x + -4x + 4y

Combine like terms: 6x + -4x = 2x

2x + 7y = 4x + -4x + 4y

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

2x + 7y = 0 + 4y

2x + 7y = 4y

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

2x + 7y + -7y = 4y + -7y

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

2x + 0 = 4y + -7y

2x = 4y + -7y

Combine like terms: 4y + -7y = -3y

2x = -3y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = -1.5y

Simplifying

x = -1.5y
