Question 974142


For 6y + 7 = 5 - y you want to group like terms then calculate as follows:


6y + y + 7 -5 = 0


7y + 2 = 0 


7y = -2


Divide both sides by 7 to get y = -2/7


You can also write it as 


6y + 7 = 5 - y ---> 6y + y = 5 - 7 


7y = -2


y = -2/7


Either way you will get the same answer :)


Cheers!
