Answer:

y = 33/5 or 6.6

Explanation:

7y + 44 = 12y + 11

-11 -11

7y + 33 = 12y

-7y -7y

33 = 5y

Divide both sides by 5

= 33/5 or 6.6

Answer:


y=6(3)/(5)

Explanation:

We are given the following equation for which we have to solve for y:


7y+44=12y+11

So first of all, we will rearrange the terms by putting the like terms together (variables on one side of the equation and constants on the other side) to get:


12y-7y=44-11

Then solving for y:


5y=33\\\\y=(33)/(5)

Therefore, the value of y is equal to
y=6(3)/(5) (rewriting y in a mixed fraction form).
