Question 610335
{{{8y-5+4y=-3y+13-y}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12y-5=-3y+13-y}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{12y-5=-4y+13}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{12y=-4y+13+5}}} Add {{{5}}} to both sides.



{{{12y+4y=13+5}}} Add {{{4y}}} to both sides.



{{{16y=13+5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{16y=18}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(18)/(16)}}} Divide both sides by {{{16}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=9/8}}} Reduce.
