solve. y-7/y+4=2/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with \[5(y-7)=2(y+4)\] and go from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be 5y-35=2y+8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that would be the first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 2y from both sides add 35 to both sides divide both sides by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get the y all by itself. subtract 2y and add 35. this gives you 3y=43. then divide by 3 and you have y=43/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i think i get it
