do you have any questions?

Answer 2

y-8
y+7 =2/7 the first part is a fraction i dont get how they get the awnser of 14

Answer 3

\[\frac{y-8}{y+7} = \frac 27\]
is that the question

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

start by cross multiplying

7(y-8) = 2(y+7)

distribute

7y - 56 = 2y + 14

subtract 2y from both sides

5y - 56 = 14

add 56 to both sides

5y = 70

divide both sides by 5

y = 14

does that help?
