y=12x+7
y is equal to 12 x plus 7
y=7/12x
y is equal to 7 over 12 x
y=12/7x
y is equal to 12 sevenths x
y=12x−7
y is equal to 12x minus 7.
To solve the equation 7y = 12x for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation.
First, we divide both sides of the equation by 7:
7y/7 = 12x/7
This simplifies to y = (12/7)x or y = 12x/7.
Therefore, the solution for y is y = 12x/7.
To solve the equation 7y = 12x for y, you need to isolate y on one side of the equation. Follow these steps to solve for y:
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate y:
7y/7 = 12x/7
Simplifying, you get:
y = (12/7)x
