Question

Solve the equation
-3y - 8=7y + 22

Answer 1

Isolate y on one side first. Go from here:
10y+22=-8

Answer 2

i just add 10y+22 right?

Answer 3

You should subtract 22 from both sides first so you'd have 10y=__, then all you have to do is divide by 10.

Answer 4

-3y-8=7y+22
-8=10y+22
-8-22=10y

Answer 5

divided by 10y?

Answer 6

Once you get to -30=10y, all you have to do is divide both sides by 10. This will put y by itself and you'll be done.

Answer 7

and i get -3

Answer 8

Yep. That's it.

Answer 9

y=-3
