Question

Solve for y.
3= y+7 divided by 3

Y=

Answer 1

2 = y

Explanation:

3 = y + 7 ÷ 3

multiply both side of equation by 3

3 × 3 = y + 7 ÷ 3 / 3

9 = y + 7

subtract 7 from both side

9 - 7 = y + 7 - 7

2 = y

Answer 2

y=2

Explanation:

3 = (y+7)/3

Multiply each side by 3

3*3 = (y+7)/3 *3

3*3 = y+7

9 = y+7

Subtract 7 from each side

9-7 = y+7-7

2 =y
