Question 497621: I am getting stuck and can not figure out what i am doing wrong
the problem is (y-4) - (y+7) = 8y
our teacher is teaching us distributing and with this answer i would just use 1
so i got y - 4 -y -7 + 8y
then i combined like terms
the y's cancel out so now i am left with -11+8y
and this is where i get stuck
