<span>______________________________________________________</span> 7y-1=-1+9(y-9) Add 1 on both sides. 7y=9(y-9) Distribute. 7y=9y-81 Subtract 7y and add 81 on both sides. 2y=81 y=40.5 ______________________________________________________
<span>4c+3=-12+c-1 </span>Subtract 3 on both sides. 4c=-12-1-3+c Subtract c on both sides. 3c=-16 c=-16/3 ______________________________________________________ <span>-(k+1)-10=-5k+3 </span>Add 10 on both sides. -(k+1)=-5k+13 Distribute. -k-1=-5k+13 Add 1 and add 5k on both sides. 4k=14 k=4/14 ______________________________________________________ -w-10=-9-2(w-8) Distribute. -w-10=-9-2w+16 Simplify. -w-10=-2w+7 Add 2w and 10 on both sides. w=17 ______________________________________________________ -2(n-3)-5=-5n+1 Distribute. -2n+6-5=-5n+1 Simplify. -2n+1=-5n+1 Add 5n and subtract 1 on both sides. 3n=0 n=0 ______________________________________________________
To make sure you got the right answer, you can check your work by plugging the result back into the question and seeing if both sides become equal. If both sides are equal, then the result is correct. ______________________________________________________
