<PRE><B>Question 639800</B>
&lt;br&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Tahoma&quot;&gt;This equation can not be fully solved.&lt;br&gt;

That is because you have 2 variables, and only 1 equation.&lt;br&gt;

But you can solve the equation for each variable.&lt;br&gt;

Solving for y:&lt;br&gt;

{{{12y-3x=7}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{12y=3x+7}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{y=(3x+7)/12}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{y=x/4+7/12}}}&lt;br&gt;

Solving for x:&lt;br&gt;

{{{12y-3x=7}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{12y=3x+7}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{12y-7=3x}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{(12y-7)/3=x}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{4y-7/3=x}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{x=4y-7/3}}}&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!  :)&lt;br&gt;
