Question 678690
{{{ (x/3) - (y/8)=1  }}}
I would start by multiplying both sides by 
the LCD, {{{ 24 }}}
{{{ 8x - 3y = 24 }}}
add {{{ 3y }}} to both sides
{{{ 8x = 24 + 3y }}}
Subtract {{{ 24 }}} from both sides
{{{ 3y = 8x - 24 }}}
Divide both sides by {{{ 3 }}}
{{{ y = (8/3)*x - 8 }}}
--------------------
Also, doing it the other way:
{{{ (x/3) - (y/8)=1  }}}
{{{ y/8 = x/3 - 1 }}}
{{{ y = (8/3)*x - 8 }}}
OK
