Answer: y=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7y = 3y + 36
Reorder the terms:
7y = 36 + 3y
Solving
7y = 36 + 3y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
7y + -3y = 36 + 3y + -3y
Combine like terms: 7y + -3y = 4y
4y = 36 + 3y + -3y
Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
4y = 36 + 0
4y = 36
Divide each side by '4'.
y = 9
Simplifying
y = 9
