You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There is no way to solve it. When you have
2 unknowns ( x and y in this case ) , then
you also need 2 equations to find x and y.
---------------------------------
The equation is in " standard form ", so what you
can do is put it in the " slope - intercept form "
------------------------------------
+3x+%2B+4y+=+2970+
Subtract +3x+ from both sides
+4y+=+-3x+%2B+2970+
Divide both sides by +4+
+y+=+-%283%2F4%29%2Ax+%2B+2970%2F4+
---------------------------
If that's not what they want, then I'm
not sure what they want.
