Evaluate the following 7 = 5x+y:3-3y

5x + 22y = 21

or

5x + 22y - 21 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

evaluate 7 = 5x+y:3-3y

7 = [5x + y]/[3-3y]

Don't forget 7 can also be expressed in form 7/1,

so the step to follow is using a cross multiplication technique.

we have;

5x + y = 7 (3 - 3y)

5x + y = 21 - 21y

Collect the like terms (note when the negative sign crosses over the equal to sign it changes to positive and the same thing applies to positive sign it changes to negative respectively.)

5x + y + 21y = 21

5x + 22y = 21

5x + 22y - 21 = 0
