Manipulate the equation y=7x−12 so that it is written in terms of x . Which equation is equivalent to y=7x−12 ?(1 point)

Question

A x=(y-12)/7
B x=(y/12)-7
C x=(y+12)/7
D x=(y/7)+12

Answer 1

To rewrite the equation \( y = 7x - 12 \) in terms of \( x \), we need to isolate \( x \).

Starting with the equation:

\[ y = 7x - 12 \]

1. Add 12 to both sides:

\[ y + 12 = 7x \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 7:

\[ x = \frac{y + 12}{7} \]

This means the equivalent equation in terms of \( x \) is:

\[ x = \frac{y + 12}{7} \]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C \( x = \frac{y + 12}{7} \).
