#y=4+(3x)/7#

Explanation:

Given -

#3x-7y=-28#
Add #-3x #to both sides
#3x-3x-7y=-28-3x#
#cancel(3x)cancel(-3x)-7y=-28-3x#
#-7y=-28-3x#
Multiply both sides by #-1#
#(-7y)(-1)=(-28-3x)(-1)#
#7y=28+3x#
Divide both sides by #7#

#(7y)/7=28/7+(3x)/7#
#(cancel7y)/(cancel7)=(cancel28 4)/cancel7+(3x)/7#

#y=4+(3x)/7#
