Question

Solve the equation and check
-3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2)

Answer 1

The value of y in the given equation -3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2) is

`y=(17)/(11)`

Explanation:

Given equation is -3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2)

To solve the given equation as below :

-3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2)

-12y+21-y=-2y+4 ( by using the distributive property )

-13y+21=-2y+4

-13y+21+2y-4=0 ( here adding the like terms )

-11y+17=0

-11y=-17

11y=17

Therefore
`y=(17)/(11)`

The value of y in the given equation -3(4y-7)-y=-2(y-2) is

`y=(17)/(11)`
