Question

What is the value of y such that 4y-2 \over 5-7y  = - 3 \over 7 ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

4y-2 = -3

5-7y 7

After cross multiplication,

7(4y-2) = -3(5-7y)

28 y - 14 = -15 + 21y

28y - 21y = -15 + 14 (Shifting the terms to the other side changes their signs)

7y = -1

y = -1/7

Hope it helps!
