Question

Solve for y: 1/2 y - 7 = -24

Answer 1

Y = 1/2y - 7 = -24

1/2 x 62 = 31

31 - 7 = 24

Answer 2

-42

Explanation:

First, add 7 to both sides, then you have 0.5y=-21, then simply divide by 0.5 on both sides( remember dividing by a fraction is simply multiplying by a whole number, in this case 2 because the fraction is 1/2) which gives you y=-42.
