3x-21=-7y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3x=-7y+21
Add 21 to both sides.
3x=21-7y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{21-7y}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{21-7y}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=-\frac{7y}{3}+7
Divide -7y+21 by 3.
-7y=3x-21
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-7y}{-7}=\frac{3x-21}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
y=\frac{3x-21}{-7}
Dividing by -7 undoes the multiplication by -7.
y=-\frac{3x}{7}+3
Divide -21+3x by -7.
