Question 374754
{{{6(2y+5)-4(y-3)=7}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12y+30-4y+12=7}}} Distribute.



{{{8y+42=7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8y=7-42}}} Subtract {{{42}}} from both sides.



{{{8y=-35}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(-35)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



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


Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=-35/8}}}
