Question

Complete the solution of the equation. Find the value of y when x equals 6. -x+7y=8.

Answer 1

X=6

-6+ 7(y) = 8
-6 + 7(2)
-6 + 14
You subtract when adding a positive and negative number
Since the positive number is higher, your answer will be positive.

-6 + 14 = 8

y=2

-6 + 7(y) = 8
+6 +6
7(y) = 14
/7 /7
y=2
