Question

(7y-8y)2+14=2 solve for x
​

Answer 1

y = 6

Explanation:

(7y-8y)2+14=2

First, simplify the left side

7y - 8y = -y

2*-y = -2y

Now solve the equation

-2y + 14 = 2

Subtract 14 from both sides

-2y = -12

Take away the negative signs since both sides are negative

2y = 12

Divide both sides by 2

y = 6

(If the variable was x instead of y the variable would still equal 6)
