Hey there!

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.


\fbox{9−7y(7)=6+5−3y−416}

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.


\fbox{9−7y(7)=6+5−3y−416}


\fbox{9+−49y=6+5+−3y+−416}


\fbox{−49y+9=(−3y)+(6+5+−416)}(Combine Like Terms)


\fbox{−49y+9=−3y+−405}


\fbox{−49y+9=−3y−405}

Step 2: Add 3y to both sides.


\fbox{−49y+9+3y=−3y−405+3y}


\fbox{−46y+9=−405}

Step 3: Subtract 9 from both sides.


\fbox{−46y+9−9=−405−9}


\fbox{−46y=−414}

Step 4: Divide both sides by -46.


\fbox{−46y/−46 = −414/−46}


\fbox{y=9}

Answer:


\fbox{y=\fbox{9}}
