Answer:

x = 5.25 + -2.25y

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 9y = 21

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9y' to each side of the equation.

4x + 9y + -9y = 21 + -9y

Combine like terms: 9y + -9y = 0

4x + 0 = 21 + -9y

4x = 21 + -9y

Divide each side by '4'.

x = 5.25 + -2.25y

No need to simplify. :)
