Question

if (14+3y)=(--5y-18) then y=?

Answer 1

hello mate,

$14 + 3y = - 5y - 18 \\ 14 + 18 = - 5y - 3y \\ 32 = - 8y \\ \frac{32}{ - 8} = y \\ y = - 4$

hope it will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

To Find:

Value of y if (14 + 3y) = ( - 5y - 18).

............................................................

   (14 + 3y) = ( - 5y - 18)

[Equation given as per the question.]

➡️ 14 + 3y = - 5y - 18

[Removed the brackets from the linear equation.]

➡️ 3y + 5y = - 18 - 14

[Interchange of the symbols; like terms are separated.]

➡️ 8y = - 32

[Added the like terms.]

➡️ y = - 32/8

[Taken 8 (which was in multiplied form in the LHS) to the right hand side.]

➡️ y = - 4

[Solution]

..............................................

Required Answer:

       Value of y is - 4 if (14 + 3y) = ( - 5y - 18).
