You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'm assuming you want to solve for y.\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%2B4y=24\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=24-7x\" Subtract \"7x\" from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=-7x%2B24\" Rearrange the terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28-7x%2B24%29%2F%284%29\" Divide both sides by \"4\" to isolate y.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28%28-7%29%2F%284%29%29x%2B%2824%29%2F%284%29\" Break up the fraction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%287%2F4%29x%2B6\" Reduce.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the equation \"y=-%287%2F4%29x%2B6\" is now in slope intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where the slope is \"m=-7%2F4\" and the y-intercept is \"b=6\" note: the y-intercept is the point \r
