manipulate the equation y = 7x - 12 so that it is written in terms of x. Which equation is equivalent to y=7x - 12?

a. x = (y-12)/7

b. x = (y/12) - 7

c. x = (y+ 12)/7

d. x = (y/7) + 12

1 answer

To manipulate the equation y = 7x - 12 so that it is written in terms of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation y = 7x - 12, we can rearrange it as:

y + 12 = 7x

Now, dividing both sides of the equation by 7, we get:

(y + 12)/7 = x

So, the equation equivalent to y = 7x - 12 in terms of x is:

c. x = (y + 12)/7
