Question

26=-12y-9+7y what is this answer

Answer 1

`y = - 7`

Solving steps:

=> 26=-12y-9+7y

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

make y the subject of formula

=> 26=−12y+−9+7y

=> 26=(−12y+7y)+(−9)

Combine like terms

=> 26=−5y+−9

=> 26=−5y−9

Step 2: Flip the equation.

=> −5y−9=26

Step 3: Add 9 to both sides.

=> −5y−9+9=26+9

=> −5y=35

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5.

.=>
`( - 5y)/( - 5) = (35)/( - 5)`

=> y = - 7
