|-15| + 82 = 80y - |-37| - 79y solve the equation

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

i'm guessing you're having trouble with absolute value the absolute value of a number is the numerical value without regard to its sign so the absolute value of -15 would be 15 and the absolute value of -37 would be 37 now just isolate y and there's your answer

thanks

15+82=80y-37-79y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15+82=1y-37 right?

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

ya:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cross multiply?

OpenStudy (alexwee123):

i would simplify 15+82 first then add 37 on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):
