Solve 22840=y*1.4+z

$$22840=y \times 1.4+z$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{114200-5z}{7}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$y\times 1.4+z=22840$$

Subtract z from both sides.

$$y\times 1.4=22840-z$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$1.4y=22840-z$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.4, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{1.4y}{1.4}=\frac{22840-z}{1.4}$$

Dividing by 1.4 undoes the multiplication by 1.4.

$$y=\frac{22840-z}{1.4}$$

Divide 22840-z by 1.4 by multiplying 22840-z by the reciprocal of 1.4.

$$y=\frac{114200-5z}{7}$$

Solve for z

$$z=-\frac{7y}{5}+22840$$

Solution Steps

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

$$y\times 1.4+z=22840$$

Subtract y\times 1.4 from both sides.

$$z=22840-y\times 1.4$$

Multiply -1 and 1.4 to get -1.4.

$$z=22840-1.4y$$
