Answer:

15y+7=12-20y (add 20y to both sides)

35y+7=12 (minus 7 from both sides)

35y = 5 (divide both sides by 35) (5/35=1/7)

y= 1/7

Answer:

64/7 = 64/7 yes y = 1/7

Explanation:

To prove this we simply have to plug in!

15(1/7) + 7 = 12 - 20(1/7) (simplify)

15/7 + 7 = 12 - 20/7 (simplify further)

64/7 = 64/7

So yes y = 1/7
