Solve x+y=35y

$$x+y = 35y$$

Solve for x

$$x=34y$$

Solution Steps

Subtract y from both sides.

$$x=35y-y$$

Combine 35y and -y to get 34y.

$$x=34y$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{x}{34}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 35y from both sides.

$$x+y-35y=0$$

Combine y and -35y to get -34y.

$$x-34y=0$$

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

$$-34y=-x$$

Divide both sides by -34.

$$\frac{-34y}{-34}=-\frac{x}{-34}$$

Dividing by -34 undoes the multiplication by -34.

$$y=-\frac{x}{-34}$$

Divide -x by -34.

$$y=\frac{x}{34}$$
