Question

Solve (8y – 7) – (5y + 1) = 4.
y = 10/3
y = -2/13
y = 16/13
y = 4

Answer 1

4

Answer 2

remove parentheses.
combine like terms
add or subtract to get y on one side by itself.
divide to get y by itself

Answer 3

y=4

Answer 4

3y=12
y=4

Answer 5

\[(8y-7)-(5y+1)=4\]
\[8y-7-5y-1=4\]
\[3y-8=4\]
\[3y=12\]
\[y=\frac{12}{3}\]
\[y=4\]

Answer 6

(8y-5y)-(7+1)=4
3y-8=4
3y=12
y=4

Answer 7

(8y-7) - (5y+1) = 4
8y-7 - 5y-1 = 4
3y - 8 = 4
3y = 4+8
3y = 12
y =12/3
y = 4

Answer 8
