Solve for x 15x+1=y

$15 x + 1 = y$

Step 1

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$15 x = y - 1$

Step 2

Divide each term in $15 x = y - 1$ by $15$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $15 x = y - 1$ by $15$ .

$\frac{15 x}{15} = \frac{y}{15} + \frac{- 1}{15}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $15$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{15 x}{15} = \frac{y}{15} + \frac{- 1}{15}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{15} + \frac{- 1}{15}$

Simplify the right side.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = \frac{y}{15} - \frac{1}{15}$
