Question

$$25y-17=18y+8$$

Solve for y

$y = \frac{25}{7} = 3\frac{4}{7} \approx 3.571428571$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $18y$ from both sides.

$$25y-17-18y=8$$

Combine $25y$ and $-18y$ to get $7y$.

$$7y-17=8$$

Add $17$ to both sides.

$$7y=8+17$$

Add $8$ and $17$ to get $25$.

$$7y=25$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$y=\frac{25}{7}$$
