Question

5(y-2)=8(y+7) find variables

Answer 1

It is very tempting to say "y" is the variable

Answer 2

5y-10=8y+56
subtract 8y from both sides
-3y-10=56
add 10 to both sides
-3y=66
divide by -3
y=22
**i could also be doing this problem very wrong since i solved for y which wasn't the question. **
i would assume the variable would be 5y and 8y

Answer 3

the only variables there are are y.

Answer 4

Yes, i think he is right, the only variable is Y

Answer 5

so then:
5y 110
8y 186
