atlas · Answer

and what do you want to say from this?

nincompoop · Answer

that's going to be a tough one 
you want to change that in the form of y = mx + b

anonymous · Answer

Get $y$ alone.
$$6y=7x-13$$
Divide each side by six.
$$\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{7x}{6}\frac{-13}{6}$$
$${y}=\frac{7x}{6}\frac{-13}{6}$$

anonymous · Answer

So, 
7x-6y=13
-7x        -7x
-----------------
I dont know what to do after. Always gets me here.

nincompoop · Answer

so you want the x on the right side of the equation
usually we just subtract that same value (since it is positive) on both sides of the equation
example

4x + 6y = 16
becomes
4x + (-4x) + 6y = 16 + (-4x)
gives you
6y = -4x + 16
then just divide both sides by 6 to obtain y (since its denominator is 6)
y = -4x/6 + 16/6

yeah you're on the right track. just perform the operation

@Apprentice how about you try to show how it is done using a different example, so you don't end up solving her own homework.  IF we did that to everything, then we are taking away the incentive and effective way of learning.
