Question

2y-3(y+1)=5y-7 solve the equation and check​

Answer 1

2y-3(y+1)=5y-7

We move all terms to the left:

2y-3(y+1)-(5y-7)=0

We multiply parentheses

2y-3y-(5y-7)-3=0

We get rid of parentheses

2y-3y-5y+7-3=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6y+4=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

-6y=-4

y=-4/-6

y=2/3
