Question
Solve the following equation: (7y +8) +7= 8
Advertisements
Solution
(7y +8) +7= 8
⇒ `("7y" + 8)/7 = 8`
⇒ `("7y" + 8)/7 xx 7 = 8 xx 7` ...(Multiplying by 7)
⇒ 7y + 8 = 56
⇒ 7y + 8 - 8 - 56 - 8 ...(Subtracting 8 from both sides)
⇒ 7y = 48
⇒ `"7y"/7 = 48/7` ..(Dividing by 7)
⇒ y = `48/7 = 6 6/7`
