Question

8+5y=(8y-6)-7 how to work it out

Answer 1

the solution is y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is

$8+5y=(8y-6)-7$

The equation has to be solved for y

So,

Opening brackets first

$8+5y=8y-6-7\\8+5y=8y-13$

Subtracting 8 from both sides

$8+5y-8=8y-13-8\\5y=8y-21$

subtracting 8y from both sides

$5y-8y = 8y-21-8y\\-3y=-21y$

Dividing both sides by -3

$\frac{-3y}{-3} = \frac{-21}{-3}\\y = 7$

so,

the solution is y = 7
