Solve x-3y-141=0

$$x - 3 y - 141 = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=3\left(y+47\right)$$

Solution Steps

Add 3y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$x-141=3y$$

Add 141 to both sides.

$$x=3y+141$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x-141}{3}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-3y-141=-x$$

Add 141 to both sides.

$$-3y=-x+141$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$-3y=141-x$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{141-x}{-3}$$

Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.

$$y=\frac{141-x}{-3}$$

Divide -x+141 by -3.

$$y=\frac{x}{3}-47$$
