Question

Are there more than one way to solve multi step equations?

Answer 1

To solve an equation like this, you must first get the variables on the same side of the equal sign. Add -2.5y to both sides so that the variable remains on one side only. Now isolate the variable by subtracting 10.5 from both sides. Multiply both sides by 10 so that 0.5y becomes 5y, then divide by 5.
