The answer is y = - 15x + 35.
Explanation:
We want to isolate y, so we cancel everything on that side of the equals except y. We begin with the term farthest away from y, which would be 3x. Since it is positive, to cancel it we will subtract. This will give us 1/5y = 7-3x.
Next we want to cancel the 1/5. Since it is directly beside y, this means it has been multiplied; to cancel, we will divide. Divide both sides by 1/5, and we have y = (7-3x) : (1/5). When we divide fractions, we flip the second one and multiply; this means we have y = (7-3x) * 5.
Using the distributive property, we have y=7*5-3x*5, which gives us y=35-15x. We can write this as y=-15x+35.
