Simplifying
16y + -41 = 7
Reorder the terms:
-41 + 16y = 7
Solving
-41 + 16y = 7
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '41' to each side of the equation.
-41 + 41 + 16y = 7 + 41
Combine like terms: -41 + 41 = 0
0 + 16y = 7 + 41
16y = 7 + 41
Combine like terms: 7 + 41 = 48
16y = 48
Divide each side by '16'.
y = 3
Simplifying
y = 3
