Hey there!☺


Answer:\boxed{x=-y+7}


Explanation:


x+y=7

The first/last step we have is to add -y to both sides.


x+y+-y=7+-y\\x=-y+7


x=-y+7 is your answer.

Hope this helps!☺

Answer:

x = -y + 7

or

x = 7 - y

Explanation:

x + y = 7

Step 1: Subtract y from both sides to get x alone.

x + y = 7

-y -y

x = 7 - y

Since x is alone and y is a variable & not a number, there's nothing else to do to the equation.
