1. Problem Description

The problem requires simplifying the linear equation 7x+y+3=9x7x + y + 3 = 9x and then graphing the simplified equation.

2. Solution Steps

First, we simplify the equation 7x+y+3=9x7x + y + 3 = 9x.
Subtract 7x7x from both sides of the equation:
7x+y+37x=9x7x7x + y + 3 - 7x = 9x - 7x
y+3=2xy + 3 = 2x
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation:
y+33=2x3y + 3 - 3 = 2x - 3
y=2x3y = 2x - 3
This is a linear equation in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept.
Here, the slope m=2m = 2 and the y-intercept b=3b = -3.
To graph this line, we need at least two points.
We can use the y-intercept (0,3)(0, -3) as one point.
To find another point, we can choose a value for xx and solve for yy. Let x=1x = 1.
y=2(1)3=23=1y = 2(1) - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1
So, the point (1,1)(1, -1) is on the line.

3. Final Answer

y=2x3y = 2x - 3
