15. Solve for the specified variable:
-
х
+
7 8
- 10; for y.

Answer:
[tex]y=80-\frac{8x}{7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
15). Given equation is,
[tex]\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{y}{8}=10[/tex]
Multiply the equation by 8,
[tex]8(\frac{x}{7}+ \frac{y}{8})=10\times 8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8x}{7}+y=80[/tex]
Subtract [tex]\frac{8x}{7}[/tex] from both the sides of the equation,
[tex]\frac{8x}{7}+y-\frac{8x}{7}=80-\frac{8x}{7}[/tex]
[tex]y=80-\frac{8x}{7}[/tex]
Therefore, value of the variable 'y' will be,
[tex]y=80-\frac{8x}{7}[/tex]
