Given the equation:
y = 6/5x + 7
Solve the x.
Solution:
In order to solve the x, we simply transpose 7 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
y = 6/5x + 7
6/5x = y - 7
Multiply both sides by 5/6 in order to cancel out 6/5, leaving behind x.
(6/5x)(5/6) = (5/6)(y - 7)
x = 5/6y - 35/6
Final answer:
x = 5/6y - 35/6
