-3(-4+3)+7y??

OpenStudy (zephyr141):

ok distribute the -3 to what's inside the parenthesis.

OpenStudy (zephyr141):

this is equal to 0 right? as in -3(-4+3)+7y=0 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lost...lol

OpenStudy (zephyr141):

ok it's going to be written like this \[-3(-4+3)+7y=0\] so we can manipulate it. now start by distributing the -3 to what's inside the parenthesis.

OpenStudy (zephyr141):

now you should have \[12-9+7y=0\] and now combine like terms. you will have \[3+7y=0\] now isolate the 7y by subtracting 3 from both sides. you will have \[7y=-3\] now just divide both sides by seven \[y=\frac{ -3 }{ 7 }\]

@jim_thompson5910 please help

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if the expression is -3(-4+3)+7y, then, -3(-4+3)+7y -3(-1)+7y 3+7y ------------------------------------------------------- However, based on your choices, I think there's a typo. If the expression is really -3(-4y+3)+7y, then, -3(-4y+3)+7y 12y - 9 + 7y (12y+7y) - 9 19y - 9
