Q.4 - Simplify: 7y + 8 = 9 + 3y + 2y. Show your work.

Sagot :

Answer:

y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

7y + 8 = 9 + 3y + 2y

7y + 8 = 9 + 5y

7y - 5y + 8 = 9 + 5y - 5y            (subtract 5y from both sides)

2y + 8 - 8 = 9 - 8                        ( subtract 8 from both sides)

2y = 1

(2/2)y = (1/2)                               divide by 2 on both sides

y = 1/2
