Answer:
Explanation:
1. You should simplify using the inverse of addition or subtraction.
2. Simplify further by using the inverse of multiplication or division.
EXAMPLE:
7 = 4 - 2y
7 - 4 = 4 - 2y - 4 Step 1; subtract 4 from each side
3 = -2y
3/-2 = -2y/-2 Step 2; divide each side by negative 2
-1.5 = y Solution
y = -1.5 *It is standard to put the variable on the left side*
