x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(8x - 6) - (7x - 9)
Distribute the first parenthesis by 1 and the second by - 1
= 8x - 6 - 7x + 9 ← collect like terms

It's a simple linear equation in 'y'. There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement. That number is called the
'solution' to the equation. Here's one way to find it:
You said that <u> 2 = y/5 - 8</u>
Add 8 to each side: 10 = y/5
Multiply each side by 5: <em> 50 = y</em>
2 1/2 for $6.25 is the answer
