SOLUTION: I am to solve for y. eg y-x=3 so y=x+3 a. (y-1)/(x+3)=3/4 This is what I have done so far: y-1=3/4 x (x+3) y-1=3x/4 + 9/4 + 1 y=3x/4 + 9/4 +1 From here, I am lost. Also I hav

Question 207050This question is from textbook Elementary and intermediate algebra
: I am to solve for y. eg y-x=3 so y=x+3
a. (y-1)/(x+3)=3/4
This is what I have done so far:
y-1=3/4 x (x+3)
y-1=3x/4 + 9/4 + 1
y=3x/4 + 9/4 +1
From here, I am lost. Also I have to solve
b. (y-h)/(x+k)=a
This is what I have so far:
(y-h)=a x (x+k)
(y-h)= ax + ak
Again, from here I am lost. Help!! This question is from textbook Elementary and intermediate algebra

Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Solve for y:
a. Multiply both sides by (x+3), as you have done!
Now add 1 to both sides.
This can be simplified to:
or, if you multiply the second term on the right side by and then add the two fractions, you get...
or...

b. Multiply both sides by
Now add h to both sides.
Which simplifies to...
