Question

solve the equation 2 y + 3 = 5 y + 7
​

Answer 1

We are given an equation  2y + 3 = 5y + 7

We have to solve for 'y'

To determine 'y' we will have to rearrange the equation

2y + 3 = 5y + 7

2y - 5y = 7-3

- 3y = 4

  y = $-\frac{4}{3}$

On solving the equation, the value of 'y' comes out to be $-\frac{4}{3}$

Answer 2

From the data given in the question,

We have to solve the equation and determine the value of "y".

As we have equation,

2y+3 = 5y+7

So, for solving the given equation,

We will separate the like terms on one side,

So, shifting 2y from LHS to RHS, and 7 from RHS to LHS

We will get,

$5y-2y = 3-7\\3y = -4\\y = -\frac{4}{3}$
