You can put this solution on YOUR website! I must solve for y in the equation: y/5-7=-2x. What does y equal.
------------
y/5-7=-2x
Multiply by 5
y-35 = -10x
Add 35
y = 35-10x

Follow the steps below and you will be able to solve for y in this case.
To solve for a variable means to isolate the variable.
In other words, we need to place x all alone on one side of the equation.
-3x + 7 = 2y + 3
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-3x = 2y + 3 - 7
-3x = 2y - 4
We now divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.
x = (2y - 4)/-3
