Question

Find the value of y.

Answer 1

8x-61 = 6x-13

Move Variable Term

8x-61= 6x-13

-6x -6x

2x-61= -13

+61 +61

Move Constant Term

2x=48

Undo Multiplication with division

48/2= 14 x=14

3y+1+8x-61=180

Combine Like terms

3y+8x-60=180

Move Constant Term(add 60)

3y+8x=140

Move Variable Terms

140/8=17.5

17.5/3= 5.83333333

Answer 2

I don't feel like working it out/ maybe someone will give you the answer/ but basically you would set

`(3y + 1)`
and add it to

`(8x - 61)`
to equal 180( which is the degree of a line
so it looks like this:

`(3y + 1) + (8x - 61) = 180`
and then solve( tell me if you need more clarification)
