Question

Solve the equation 3(y-9)=7y+2

Answer 1

First, distribute.
$3y - 27 = 7y + 2$
Subtract the 3y from both sides.
$- 27 = 4y + 2$
Subtract 2 from both sides.
$- 29 = 4y$
To get the variable by itself, divide by 4.
$- \frac{29}{4} = y$
Your answer is:
$y = - \frac{29}{4}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm really really sorry if I'm wrong...

3(y-9)=5y+2

3y - 27 = 5y + 2

    + 27        + 27

3y = 5y + 29

-5y  -5y

-2y = 29

-2       -2

y = -14.5
