When you have a problem such as 3y-7y=28, how would you simplify the problem? Would it be -4y=28?
\n" ); document.write( "You've done the first step, you can now divide both sides of the = sign by -4.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y%2F-4=28%2F-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1y=-7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check, do both sides = if y=-7?
\n" ); document.write( "3(-7)-7(-7)=28 ?
\n" ); document.write( "-21+49=28 ?
\n" ); document.write( "28=28 We're right!!!
\n" ); document.write( "Happy Calculating!!! \n" ); document.write( "
