Can someone explain this equation to me step by step please

2y+7x=4 ;x= 5,10,15

mathstudent55 · Answer

What are you asked to do? Are you asked to find the value of y for the three given values of x, 5, 10, and 15?

anonymous · Answer

Solve Each equation for Y. Then find the value of y for each value of x

mathstudent55 · Answer

Ok.
2y + 7x = 4
Subtract 7x from both sides:
2y = -7x + 4
Divide both sides by 2:
y = -(7/2)x + 2
Now put in 5, 10, 15 for x and calculate y

anonymous · Answer

Ok Im kind of still confused its the part where you divide both sides by 2: 
y = -(7/2)x+2 and the last part about 5,10,15
