Question 119190


{{{-5y+6=-1(y-7)}}} Start with the given equation




{{{-5y+6=-y+7}}} Distribute the negative



{{{-5y+6=-y+7}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{-5y=-y+7-6}}}Subtract 6 from both sides



{{{-5y+y=7-6}}} Add y to both sides



{{{-4y=7-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-4y=1}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{y=(1)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by -4 to isolate y




{{{y=-1/4}}} Reduce


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

Answer:

So our answer is {{{y=-1/4}}}  (which is approximately {{{y=-0.25}}} in decimal form)




So the answer is C)
