Question

HELP PLEASE!!! Find y: -6y - 7 =29

Please give at least somewhat of an explanation because I am so confused and need help to understand.

Answer 1

y = -6

Explanation:

-6y + -7 = 29

+7 +7

-6y = 36

-6 -6

y = -6

Here's our original equation. We're trying to get y by itself, so we first subtract seven. (What you do to one side, you do to the other). That leaves us with -6y = 36. Next, let's divide both sides by -6. This leaves us with our final equation, y = -6. I really hope this helps!
