3x+y-7x=-14
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-4x+y=-14
Combine 3x and -7x to get -4x.
-4x=-14-y
Subtract y from both sides.
-4x=-y-14
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{-y-14}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{-y-14}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=\frac{y}{4}+\frac{7}{2}
Divide -14-y by -4.
