please solve for either x or y:
x/2 + y/4 = 7
I'll do for x
equation by 4 ...
2x + y = 28
2x = 28-y
x = (28-y)/2
you do for y.
To solve for either x or y in the equation x/2 + y/4 = 7, we can follow these steps:
1. Multiply both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD) of 2 and 4, which is 4. This step eliminates the fractions in the equation.
(4)(x/2) + (4)(y/4) = (4)(7)
2x + y = 28
2. Now we have the equation 2x + y = 28. To solve for x or y, we need more information. If you have another equation or the value of either x or y, we can substitute it into this equation and solve for the remaining variable.
Please provide additional information or equations if you would like to solve for x or y specifically.
