You subtract or add the things that are on the same side to the other side in which it cancels out and your left with just the Y on that side
y = 11/21
To solve this first evaluate the power (then calculate the sum):
<u><em>
</em></u>y - <u><em>
</em></u> = 5y +<u><em> (-5 + 7)</em></u>
16y - 9 = -5y + 2
Next Move terms (move variable to the left side and change its sign) (Move constant to the right side and change its sign):
16y <u><em>- 9 </em></u>= <u><em>-5y</em></u> + 2
16y + 5y = 2 + 9
Next Collect the like terms and calculate the sum:
<u><em>16y + 5y</em></u> = <u><em>2 + 9</em></u>
21y = 11
Lastly divide both sides of the equation by 21:
<u><em>21y = 11</em></u>
y = 
Hahah it’s funny how there was another one of these in my feed after I just answer on the other one. HAVE A NICE DAY :)
Okay, so, I don’t know what I’m doing here or if this is valid, but I believe in you.
