4y+y+1=7(y-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 4y and y are like terms, add y to 4y to get 5y.
\n" ); document.write( "5y+1=7(y-1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply 7 by each term inside the parentheses.
\n" ); document.write( "5y+1=7y-7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 7y contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 7y from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "5y+1-7y=-7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 5y and -7y are like terms, add -7y to 5y to get -2y.
\n" ); document.write( "-2y+1=-7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since 1 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 1 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-1-7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 7 from -1 to get -8.
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=-8\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide each term in the equation by -2.
\n" ); document.write( "-(2y)/(-2)=-(8)/(-2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
\n" ); document.write( "y=-(8)/(-2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
\n" ); document.write( "y=4 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
