Question

7) What is the SECOND step in simplifying the equation below?
4 - 3y = 31

Answer 1

subtract 4 from both sides

Explanation:

you will then get -3y=27 as your equation then you just divide each side by -3 and your answer will be y = -9

Answer 2

Explanation:

4 - 3y = 31

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides

-3y = 31 -4

-3y = 27

Step 2: Divide both sides by (-3)

`(-3y)/(-3)=(27)/(-3)`

y = -9
