Question 419661: I always get stuck on this one part of this type of equation and was hoping for an explanation as to how to get past this one point.
(3,-8); 6x + 7y = 3
I do fine until I get to...
y-(-8) = -7/6x -21/6
the instructions say to add 8 to both sides
which leaves y = -7/6, but am unable to finish the equation as neither adding or subtracting -8 nor 8 makes the answer correct or make sense to me.
I'm at a loss and am wondering if you could explain to me in simple terms what I am doing wrong or how to finish this equation.
Thank you for any help.
