\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:9y-2y=7y

7y+8=4y+38


\mathrm{Subtract\:}8\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

7y+8-8=4y+38-8


\mathrm{Simplify}

7y=4y+30


\mathrm{Subtract\:}4y\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}

7y-4y=4y+30-4y

Answer: y = 10

Step-by-step explanation: Hi there!

To get started, first, we have to subtract 2y from 9y on the left side.

7y + 8 = 4y + 38

Then subtract 4y on both sides.

3y + 8 = 38

Then subtract 8 on both sides

3y = 30

Finally divide by 3 on both sides.

y = 10

The answer is y = 10.
