Answer:

y=2

Explanation:

1/3 (y+7) = 3(y-1)

Multiply each side by 3 to get rid of the fraction

3*1/3 (y+7) = 3*3(y-1)

y+7 = 9(y-1)

Distribute

y+7 = 9y - 9

Subtract y from each side

y+7-y = 9y-y-9

7 = 8y -9

Add 9 to each side

7+9 = 8y-9+9

16 = 8y

Divide each side by8

16/8 = 8y/8

2 = y
