Solve 24x+27y=78

$$24x+27y=78$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{9y}{8}+\frac{13}{4}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 27y from both sides.

$$24x=78-27y$$

Divide both sides by 24.

$$\frac{24x}{24}=\frac{78-27y}{24}$$

Dividing by 24 undoes the multiplication by 24.

$$x=\frac{78-27y}{24}$$

Divide 78-27y by 24.

$$x=-\frac{9y}{8}+\frac{13}{4}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{26-8x}{9}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 24x from both sides.

$$27y=78-24x$$

Divide both sides by 27.

$$\frac{27y}{27}=\frac{78-24x}{27}$$

Dividing by 27 undoes the multiplication by 27.

$$y=\frac{78-24x}{27}$$

Divide 78-24x by 27.

$$y=\frac{26-8x}{9}$$
