Question

23. Solve using the principles together.​ Don't forget to check.

Answer 1

A. The solution is y = 3.

Explanation:

Given

• 7y - (4y - 14) = 23

Distribute the value to the terms in parentheses.

• 7y - (4y - 14) = 23
• 7y - 4y + 14 = 23

Simplify like terms and subtract 14 from each side.

• 3y + 14 - 14 = 23 - 14
• 3y = 9

Divide by 3 on each side.

• 3y/3 = 9/3
• y = 3

A. The solution is y = 3.

Answer 2

7y - (4y - 14) = 23

---Distribute the negative sign into the terms in the parentheses

7y - 4y + 14 = 23

---Combine like terms

3y + 14 = 23

---Subtract 14 from both sides

3y = 9

---Divide both sides by 3

y = 3

Answer: y = 3

Answer Choice: A, 3
