Variables are the unknows, on this case we have 2 variables
Y and X
variables are always represented by letters
X is
we write the original equation
[tex]7y+3x=9[/tex]now we try to x be alone to solve, then we subtract 7y on both sides
[tex]\begin{gathered} (7y-7y)+3x=9-7y \\ 0+3x=9-7y \\ 3x=9-7y \end{gathered}[/tex]now we divide on both sides by 3 to solve x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{9-7y}{3} \\ \\ x=\frac{9-7y}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]Y is
write original equation
[tex]7y+3x=9[/tex]subtract 3x on both sides to remove 3x on right
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7y+(3x-3x)=9-3x \\ 7y+0=9-3x \\ 7y=9-3x \end{gathered}[/tex]and divide by 7 to solve y
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7y}{7}=\frac{9-3x}{7} \\ \\ x=\frac{9-3x}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]
