Question

Solve: 3(y +2) – 2(y – 1) = 7

Answer 1

Answer:

=> The value of y is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

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

To find:- The value of the expression,

To solve this expression, we have to use the transposition method:  

As we have,

=> $3(y +2) -2(y - 1) = 7$

By distributing the terms, we get

=> $3y +6 -2y - 2 = 7$

Add the numbers, we get

=> $3y +8 -2y = 7$

Combining the like terms, we get

=> $y +8 = 7$

Subtract both sides by $8$, we get

=> $y +8 -8= 7-8$

=> $y = -1$

Hence, the required solution is -1.
