Question 96744
{{{9y-1-7y=7-6y-15}}} Start with the given equation



{{{2y-1=7-6y-15}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{2y-1=-6y-8}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{2y=-6y-8+1}}}Add 1 to both sides



{{{2y+6y=-8+1}}} Add 6y to both sides



{{{8y=-8+1}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{8y=-7}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{y=(-7)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by 8 to isolate y



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

Answer:

So our answer is {{{y=(-7)/(8)}}}  (which is {{{y=-0.875}}} in decimal form)
