Solve y-12981=443(x-1)

$$y - 12981 = 443 ( x - 1 )$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y-12538}{443}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 443 by x-1.

$$y-12981=443x-443$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$443x-443=y-12981$$

Add 443 to both sides.

$$443x=y-12981+443$$

Add -12981 and 443 to get -12538.

$$443x=y-12538$$

Divide both sides by 443.

$$\frac{443x}{443}=\frac{y-12538}{443}$$

Dividing by 443 undoes the multiplication by 443.

$$x=\frac{y-12538}{443}$$

Solve for y

$$y=443x+12538$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply 443 by x-1.

$$y-12981=443x-443$$

Add 12981 to both sides.

$$y=443x-443+12981$$

Add -443 and 12981 to get 12538.

$$y=443x+12538$$
