Solve 4x+26y=-42

$$4 x + 26 y = - 42$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{-13y-21}{2}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 26y from both sides.

$$4x=-42-26y$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$4x=-26y-42$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-26y-42}{4}$$

Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.

$$x=\frac{-26y-42}{4}$$

Divide -42-26y by 4.

$$x=\frac{-13y-21}{2}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{-2x-21}{13}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 4x from both sides.

$$26y=-42-4x$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$26y=-4x-42$$

Divide both sides by 26.

$$\frac{26y}{26}=\frac{-4x-42}{26}$$

Dividing by 26 undoes the multiplication by 26.

$$y=\frac{-4x-42}{26}$$

Divide -42-4x by 26.

$$y=\frac{-2x-21}{13}$$
