Question

7(1 - y) = -3(y-2) What is the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge y = \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7(1 - y) = -3(y-2)$

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

$7 - 7y = - 3y + 6$

Add 3y to both sides of the equation

$7 - 7y + 3y = 3y - 3y + 6 \\ 7 - 4y = 6$

Subtract 7 from both sides by the equation

$7 - 7 - 4y = 6 - 7 \\ - 4y = - 1$

Divide both sides by - 4

$\frac{ - 4y}{ - 4} = \frac{ - 1}{ - 4}$

We have the final answer as

$y = \frac{1}{4}$

Hope this helps you
