Question 112098
Do you want to solve for x? The equation is already a function of x (ie y is dependent on x). If you do, then...





{{{y=-7x-9}}} Start with the given equation




{{{0=-7x-9-y}}}Subtract y from both sides



{{{+7x=-9-y}}} Add 7x to both sides



{{{x=(-9-y)/(7)}}} Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x



--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=(-9-y)/(7)}}}
