How do you solve 7y + 1 = 43

Answer:

What we want is the answer on one side, and the variable on the other.

The first step in solving this is to get rid of the +1.

To do this we can use the inverse of operations, so we would subtract 1 from both sides.

7y +1 (-1) is 7y, ans 43-1 is 42.

Your problem now looks like

7y = 42

Next, we want to divide. We will divide both sides by 7

7y/7 is y, and 42/7 is 6.

Now our problem looks like

y = 6

6 is the answer

Hope it helps!
