OK anyone can you help me with this problem

To solve for y, isolate y. Subtract \(\large \frac 13 y \) from both sides and solve for y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i got 7=-7/30y so then i would what multiply both sides by the reciprocal?

OpenStudy (aum):

Correct. Divide both sides by 7 Multiply both sides by 30 to get rid of the 30 in the denominator. Multiply both sides by -1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i got -30

OpenStudy (aum):

Correct. y = -30. If you want you can put y = -30 in the equation and verify it is indeed correct.
