Question

Solve for the given variable 7x+5y=6 for y

Answer 1

y = (6/5) - (7/5) x

Explanation:

goal: to rearrange the equation such that it takes the form:

y = f(x) ; where f(x) is an expression in terms of x

Given:

7x+5y=6 subtract 7x from both sides

5y = 6 - 7x (divide both sides by 5)

y = (6-7x) / 5

y = (6/5) - (7/5) x
