Answer 1

The awnser is Y=-1/7

Answer 2

y=−1/7

for the picture is y=-57/7

Explanation:

1. 8= -7y +7

Switch:sides

-7y+7=8

subtract 7 from both sides

-7y=1

divide both sides by -7

y=−1/7

2.so for 8/y+7=-7

multiply both sides by (y+7)

8/y+7(y+7)=-7(y+7)

simplify 8=-7(y+7)

flip

-7(y+7)=8

divide both sides by -7

y+7=-8/7

subtract 7 from both sides

and simplify

y=-57/7
