Hey there! :D

7(y+2)= (81÷9)+ (8y-2)

Distribute the 7.

7y+14= (81÷9) + 8y-2

7y+14= 9+8y-2

7y+14= 8y+7

Subtract 7 on both sides.

7y+7= 8y

Subtract 7y on both sides.

7=y

"A" is the correct answer.

I hope this helps!

Let's simplify both sides to get:

7y+14 = 9+8y-2

Now we need to solve for y:

14 = 9+y-2

14 = 7+y

y = 7

So, your answer is A.
