Question 175610: question. 3x=4y-5
would like a detail answer so I can apply the formula to the rest of questions.
I am very quick at math but have not been using such math and have forgottem formulas so I can help my son.
Thanks Fred

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi Fred,
:
what would you like us to do with this equation: graph it? If you looking for the slope and y intercept you need to write it in slope intercept form which is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. we need more information on what you need.......thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website! You don't say what you are trying to accomplish, though there isn't much you can do with this except to graph it. If developing a graph is your goal, follow this procedure:
Solve the equation for one variable in terms of the other; typically we choose to solve for  .
Next, select a value for  . Any value will do, but pick something that makes the arithmetic easy, like 0 (zero).
Substitute this value into the equation and do the arithmetic:  →  when  .
That means one of the points on your line is described by the ordered pair: \right) . Plot this point, thus:
Repeat the process with a different selection for . Again, any value will do so long as it is different than the first value you selected. In keeping with the idea of making the arithmetic easy, let's choose 1.
Substitute this value into the equation and do the arithmetic:  →  when  .
That means the second point on your line is described by the ordered pair: \right) . Plot this point, thus:
Finally, draw a straight line all the way across the graph through the two points, thus:
