Usually, 'y' is the dependant variable and x is the independent variable. Function form would then be to arrange y as a function of x. You have a linear equation in x and y. Just solve for y. The result will be in function form.

Starting with the given 15x+y=20:
Find the additive inverse of 15x. Add this number to left side and right side. Simplify. THAT is your function!
