Question

Зу - 2(5y - 7) = -9y + 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3y - 2(5y - 7) = -9y + 6 (Given)

3y - 10y + 14 = -9y + 6 (Distribute)

-7y + 14 = -9y + 6 (Add like terms)

2y + 14 = 6 (Add 9y on both sides)

2y = -8 (Subtract 14 on both sides)

y = -4 (Divide 2 on both sides)

You can check by substituting the solution for y:

3(-4) - 2(5(-4) - 7) = -9(-4) + 6

-12 - 2(-20 - 7) = 36 + 6

-12 - 2(-27) = 42

-12 + 54 = 42

42 = 42
