2x+y-7x=0
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-5x+y=0
Combine 2x and -7x to get -5x.
-5x=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=-\frac{y}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{y}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{y}{5}
Divide -y by -5.
y=7x-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
y=5x
Combine 7x and -2x to get 5x.
