Question

-21(y-8)=y +(-67)

Whats Y?

Answer 1

Step 1 (distribute out all your parentheses): -21y + 168 = y - 67

Step 2 (put "like" terms on the same side): -21y - y = -67 -168

Step 3 (collect "like" terms): -22y = -235

Step 4 (get "y" by itself): y = (-235) / (-22)

Therefore, y = 235/22

or in decimal form, y = 10.68
