The way you worded the question, it appears that you want equation solved for each variable. However, I am wondering if you what you are really looking for are the x and y intercepts. I will do both, just to make sure you get the answer you need.

solve for x

2y + 32x = 34

32x = 34 - 2y subtract 2y from both sides

x = [tex] \frac{34}{32} [/tex] - [tex] \frac{2y}{32} [/tex] divided both sides by 32

x = [tex] \frac{17}{16} [/tex] - [tex] \frac{y}{16} [/tex] simplified the fractions

solve for y

2y + 32x = 34

2y = 34 - 32x subtract 32x from both sides

y = [tex] \frac{34}{2} [/tex] - [tex] \frac{32x}{2} [/tex] divided both sides by 2

y = 17 - 16x simplified the fractions

x-intercept - when y=0

2(0) + 32x = 34

32x = 34

x = [tex] \frac{34}{32} [/tex] = [tex] \frac{17}{16} [/tex]

y-intercept - when x=0

2y + 32(0) = 34

2y = 34

y = [tex] \frac{34}{2} [/tex] = 17


There are infinite solutions to this equation.

One is x = 1 and y = 1 ( because 2*1 + 32*1 = 34)
