Solve this equation for y: 7y = 12x

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

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 7y = 12x \) for \( y \), we will isolate \( y \):

  1. Divide both sides of the equation by 7:

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

This can also be written as:

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

Therefore, the correct answer is:

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