2y+7+-1=2y+6
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Add the like terms. And you are not solving it. You are simplifying.

-4
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
wasnt it equal to -1? and not adding -1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

2y + 7 = -1 (it was your original problem)
2y = -1 - 7
2y = -8
y = -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the problem is 2y+7=-1
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
so u want me to show u how kat got all tht?
OpenStudy (katrinakaif):
Understood?
OpenStudy (katrinakaif):
1) Your ultimate goal is to bring all the constants onto one side of the equal sign
Therefore, lets move the + 7 to the other side by substracting 7 with -1, resulting -8

Now your left with 2y = -8
Divide by 2 to get "y" by itself
y = -8/2
y = -4 is your answer when simplified
OpenStudy (karatechopper):
nvm
