Question

Solve each literal equation for the given variable.
solve for x
7x-y=14

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 7x - y = 14 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:

1. Add \( y \) to both sides of the equation:
\[
7x = y + 14
\]

2. Divide both sides by 7 to isolate \( x \):
\[
x = \frac{y + 14}{7}
\]

So, the solution for \( x \) is:
\[
x = \frac{y + 14}{7}
\]
