Q. If 3x+4y=7, which of the following expressions is equivalent to y ?Choose 1 answer:(A) −3x+7(B) −43x+47(C) 43x+47(D) 3x+7
Isolate y: Isolate y in the equation 3x+4y=7. To solve for y, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation. 3x+4y−3x=7−3x This simplifies to: 4y=7−3x
Divide sides: Divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for y.To get y by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.$44y=47−3x\)This simplifies to:y=47−43x
Rearrange terms: Rearrange the terms to match the answer choices.The expression for y can be written with the x term first, followed by the constant term, to match the format of the answer choices.y=−(43)x+(47)
Match answer choice: Match the expression to the correct answer choice.The expression we found for y is y=−43x+47, which matches answer choice (B).
