You can put this solution on YOUR website!

This equation can not be fully solved.

That is because you have 2 variables, and only 1 equation.

But you can solve the equation for each variable.

Solving for y:

12y-3x=7

12y=3x%2B7

y=%283x%2B7%29%2F12

y=x%2F4%2B7%2F12

Solving for x:

12y-3x=7

12y=3x%2B7

12y-7=3x

%2812y-7%29%2F3=x

4y-7%2F3=x

x=4y-7%2F3

I hope this helps! :)
