Question

Solving 2- Step Equations with Like Terms and Distribute Property: How do you solve this?

Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is y = -2


`- 25 = 7y - 3 + 4y`

First we collect terms.

`- 25 = 11y - 3`

Now we add 3 to both sides of the equation.

`- 22 = 11y`

Finally we divide both sides by 11.

`y = - 22 / 11 = - 2`

Hence, the answer is y = - 2
