Question

Solve for y. -5(6+7y)= -5(6+y)​

Answer 1

y = 0

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−5(6+7y)=−5(6+y)

(−5) (6) + (−5) (7y) = (−5) (6) + (−5) (y) (Distribute)

−30 + − 35y = −30 + −5y

−35y − 30 = −5y −30

Step 2: Add 5y to both sides.

−35y − 30 + 5y = −5y −30 + 5y

−30y −30 = −30

Step 3: Add 30 to both sides.

−30y − 30 + 30 = −30 + 30

−30y = 0

Step 4: Divide both sides by -30.

−30y /−30 = 0 /−30

Answer 2

Simplify to -30-35y=-30-5y
Move all ys to the right and move constants left, -30y= 0
Divide by -30
y=0
