Question

-2y+1=6y + 15

Answer 1

y=7/4

Answer 2

-7/4

Answer 3

@juliannescriv , you need to change the -y to a positive, it's going to be -y=-7/4, it will be y=7/4

Answer 4

if you plug that answer back in, -2.5 doesnt equal 25.5

Answer 5

-2y+1=6y+15
1=8y+15
-14=8y
y =-14/8 = -7/4

Answer 6

but you cannot have a negative y either

Answer 7

but -7/4 makes the equations 4.5=4.5

Answer 8

the y is positive, the number that represents y isnt. you can have that

Answer 9

yes, but how do you make the y positive if it is negative, you have to make the number a positive

Answer 10

y can be a negative value. you can have y=-1, but not -y=1

Answer 11

you don't end up with a -y

Answer 12

Answer 13
