Question

Solve y-8/3=-7 show work

Answer 1

Given equation,

• y - 8 / 3 = -7

Aim :

• To find value of y.

Cross multiplying them,

>> y - 8 = -7 × 3

>> y - 8 = -21

Transposing -8 from L.H.S. to R.H.S.,

>> y = -21 + 8

>> y = -13

Therefore :

• Value of y is -13.

Answer 2

Answer: y = -13

Explanation:

Given:

`\displaystyle (y-8)/(3) =-7`

Multiply both sides by 3:

`\displaystyle y-8 = -21`

Add 8 to both sides:

`\displaystyle y= -13`
