Explanation:
Multiply out the terms on the right, giving:
Subtract 1 from both sides:
...which I think is what you are after: y is now espressed as a function of x, and it's a linear equation in the form :
y = mx + b
...your slope is -3 and, at x = 0, the function evaluates to 14, which is your y intercept.
GOOD LUCK
