Solve 18y=-99x-77

$$18 y = - 99 x - 77$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{2y}{11}-\frac{7}{9}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-99x-77=18y$$

Add 77 to both sides.

$$-99x=18y+77$$

Divide both sides by -99.

$$\frac{-99x}{-99}=\frac{18y+77}{-99}$$

Dividing by -99 undoes the multiplication by -99.

$$x=\frac{18y+77}{-99}$$

Divide 18y+77 by -99.

$$x=-\frac{2y}{11}-\frac{7}{9}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{11x}{2}-\frac{77}{18}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

The equation is in standard form.

$$18y=-99x-77$$

Divide both sides by 18.

$$\frac{18y}{18}=\frac{-99x-77}{18}$$

Dividing by 18 undoes the multiplication by 18.

$$y=\frac{-99x-77}{18}$$

Divide -99x-77 by 18.

$$y=-\frac{11x}{2}-\frac{77}{18}$$
