Question

7(1 - y) = -3(y-2)
What is the answer

Answer 1

`\huge y = (1)/(4)`

Explanation:

`7(1 - y) = -3(y-2)`

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

`7 - 7y = - 3y + 6`

Add 3y to both sides of the equation

`7 - 7y + 3y = 3y - 3y + 6 \\ 7 - 4y = 6`

Subtract 7 from both sides by the equation

`7 - 7 - 4y = 6 - 7 \\ - 4y = - 1`

Divide both sides by - 4

`( - 4y)/( - 4) = ( - 1)/( - 4) \\`

We have the final answer as

`y = (1)/(4) \\`

Hope this helps you
