Q. If 3x+4y=7 3 x+4 y=7 , which of the following expressions is equivalent to y y ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 3x+7 -3 x+7 \newline(B) 34x+74 -\frac{3}{4} x+\frac{7}{4} \newline(C) 34x+74 \frac{3}{4} x+\frac{7}{4} \newline(D) 3x+7 3 x+7
  1. Isolate y: Isolate yy in the equation 3x+4y=73x+4y=7. To solve for yy, we need to isolate yy on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 3x3x from both sides of the equation. 3x+4y3x=73x3x + 4y - 3x = 7 - 3x This simplifies to: 4y=73x4y = 7 - 3x
  2. Divide sides: Divide both sides of the equation by 44 to solve for yy.\newlineTo get yy by itself, we divide both sides of the equation by 44.\newline$4y4=73x4\$\frac{4y}{4} = \frac{7 - 3x}{4}\)\newlineThis simplifies to:\newliney=7434xy = \frac{7}{4} - \frac{3}{4}x
  3. Rearrange terms: Rearrange the terms to match the answer choices.\newlineThe expression for yy can be written with the xx term first, followed by the constant term, to match the format of the answer choices.\newliney=(34)x+(74)y = -\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)x + \left(\frac{7}{4}\right)
  4. Match answer choice: Match the expression to the correct answer choice.\newlineThe expression we found for yy is y=34x+74y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{7}{4}, which matches answer choice (B).
