3.5x-17=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3.5x=y+17
Add 17 to both sides.
\frac{3.5x}{3.5}=\frac{y+17}{3.5}
Divide both sides of the equation by 3.5, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+17}{3.5}
Dividing by 3.5 undoes the multiplication by 3.5.
x=\frac{2y+34}{7}
Divide y+17 by 3.5 by multiplying y+17 by the reciprocal of 3.5.
