Question

What is -4y-3=5-3y+6-19

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a multi-step equation, so you can solve for the variable 'y' by using a series of steps:

1.  Combine like terms:

-4y - 3 = 5 - 3y + 6 -19 or -4y - 3 = -3y - 8

2.  Isolate the variable using inverse (opposite operations):

Add 8 to both sides:  -4y - 3 + 8 = -3y - 8 + 8 or -4y + 5 = -3y

Add -4y to both sides: -4y + 5 + 4y = -3y + 4y

3.  Solve for 'y'

5 = y
