Question

Solve the equation 3(y-9)=7y+2

Answer 1

First, distribute.

`3y - 27 = 7y + 2`
Subtract the 3y from both sides.

`- 27 = 4y + 2`
Subtract 2 from both sides.

`- 29 = 4y`
To get the variable by itself, divide by 4.

`- (29)/(4) = y`
Your answer is:

`y = - (29)/(4)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

I'm really really sorry if I'm wrong...

3(y-9)=5y+2

3y - 27 = 5y + 2

+ 27 + 27

3y = 5y + 29

-5y -5y

-2y = 29

-2 -2

y = -14.5
