Question

Identify the value of y


(3y+5)=-4-8y+9+77

Answer 1

Y=7

Explanation:

(3y+5)= -4 -8y +9 + 77

-5 -5

3y= -9 - 8y + 9 + 77

+9 -9

3y= -8y + 77

+8y +8y

11y = 77

11y/11 77/11

y = 7

1. subtract 5 from both sides

2. add -9 and +9 and you get 0

3. add 8y to both sides

4. divide both sides by 11

5. you get y=7
