# 1

8%287-y%29=-21 Start with the given equation.


56-8y=-21 Distribute.


-8y=-21-56 Subtract 56 from both sides.


-8y=-77 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-77%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate y.


y=77%2F8 Reduce.


---------------

Answer:

So the answer is y=77%2F8

-2%285%2B6m%29%2B16=-90 Start with the given equation.


-10-12m%2B16=-90 Distribute.


-12m%2B6=-90 Combine like terms on the left side.


-12m=-90-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-12m=-96 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-96%29%2F%28-12%29 Divide both sides by -12 to isolate m.


m=8 Reduce.


-----------------------

Answer:

So the answer is m=8
