Question

Solve the equation 7+4y=39

Answer 1

y = 8

Explanation:

7 + 4y = 39

Rearrange:

4y + 7 = 39

Subtract 7 from both sides:

4y + 7 = 39

- 7 -7

4y = 32

Divide both sides by 4:

4/4 = y

32/4 = 8

y = 8

Answer 2

y = 8

Explanation:

`7+4y=39\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}7\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\7+4y-7=39-7\\\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\4y=32\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}4\\(4y)/(4)=(32)/(4)\\\\Simplify\\y =8`
