Question

-3(y-6)+25=8(7-4y)
does y= -13 over 29 ( -13/29)

Answer 1

I got 33/29

Answer 2

so what i did was distribute first
-3y+18+25=56-32y

Answer 3

then i combined like terms

Answer 4

-3y+23=56-32y

Answer 5

after that, i moved 32y over and 23 over
29y=33

Answer 6

then i just divided 29 on both sides, effectively getting y=33/29

Answer 7

what i did :
-3(y-6)+25=8(7-4y)
-3y+18+25=56-32y
-32y+3y= -29y
18+25=43=56-29y
-13=29y and then i got -13/29 even though while typing this i realized i messed up .
