Answer:
y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step to solving this equation is to get rid of the brackets, which we do by multiplying each term on the brackets with the term outside it, so:
5y+34=-2*-7y+-2*1
Then we multiply and merge any like terms:
5y+34=14y-2
Now we need to move all y terms to one side and numbers on the other which we do by reversing the sign:
5y+34-5y+2=14y-2+2-5y
This leave us with:
9y=36
Now all that's left to do is divide both sides by 9 so we are left with:
y=4
Hope this helped!
y = 4
Hi there !
5y + 34 = - 2(-7y + 1)
5y + 34 = (-2)(-7y) + (-2)(+1)
5y + 34 = 14y - 2
→ move ←
sign changed
34 + 2 = 14y - 5y
36 = 9y
y = 36 : 9
y = 4
Good luck !
