Answer:

Y = -1.2 OR - 1 1/5

Explanation:

4(y-3)+19=8(2y+3)+7 First, simplify the problem by multiplying the numbers outside of the ()’s by the numbers inside the ()’s

4y-12+19=16y+24+7 Next, simplify again by combining like terms (EX: -12 + 19 = 7)

4y+7=16y+31. Then, get Y by itself.

-4y +4y

7=20y+31

-31 -31

-24=20y. (Divide to get Y by itself)

/20 /20

-1.2 = Y or - 1 and 1/5 = Y
