To solve the equation for either y or x, you need to have a value for the variable you are not trying to solve for. For example, if you're solving for x in y = -6x + 1, when y = 0:
0 = -6x + 1 (substitute 0 for y)
6x = 1 (add 6x to both sides)
x = 1/6 (divide both sides by 6)

You need more information to solve for x and y. One answer is x=3 and y=1.
-y + y equals 0.
For y - 2y - 3y equals 0, y equals 0.

You cannot solve one linear equation with two variables.
b = y - mx.
you need to find one of the variables first
You can't. You need 2 equations to solve for 2 unknowns
y= -2x
y - 3 = 0 y = 3
