Question 679160
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


What do you mean by "solve"?


It is already solved for *[tex \LARGE y] in terms of *[tex \LARGE x].  You could solve it for *[tex \LARGE x] in terms of *[tex \LARGE y] by adding 8 to both sides and multiplying both sides by 1/7 -- although generally speaking that would be a very odd thing to do indeed.


Other than that, the equation has a solution set that consists of an infinite number of ordered pairs of the form *[tex \LARGE \left(x,\,7x\,-\,8\right)] where *[tex \LARGE x\ \in\ \mathbb{R}]


You have to be more specific about what you want if you are really interested in getting help here.
