Question

2/7y-5= -3 need help solving

Answer 1

answer: y = 7

$\frac{2}{7}y-5=-3$

$\frac{2}{7}y=-3+5$

$\frac{2}{7}y=2$

$y=2(\frac{7}{2})$

$y=\frac{14}{2}$

$y = 7$

plug the value of $y$ in the equation to make sure of the answer:

$\frac{2}{7}y-5=-3$

$\frac{2}{7}(7)-5=-3$

$\frac{14}{7}-5=-3$

$2-5=-3$

$-3 =-3$
