Question

8y-3=6y+17 sovle for y and tell me how yu got the answer in steps please

Answer 1

y=10

Answer 2

Begin by isolated y. (Getting all of them on the same side)
So subtract the 6y.
8y-6y-3=17
Then add the 3
8y-6y=20
Combine the y's
2y=20
Divide by 2.
y=10

Answer 3

8y-3=6y+17

Since 6y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 6y from both sides.
8y-3-6y=17

Since 8y and -6y are like terms, add -6y to 8y to get 2y.
2y-3=17

Since -3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides.
2y=3+17

Add 17 to 3 to get 20.
2y=20

Divide each term in the equation by 2.
(2y)/(2)=(20)/(2)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y=(20)/(2)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
y=10
