Question

$$30+7y=-2y-6$$

Solve for y

$y=-4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $2y$ to both sides.

$$30+7y+2y=-6$$

Combine $7y$ and $2y$ to get $9y$.

$$30+9y=-6$$

Subtract $30$ from both sides.

$$9y=-6-30$$

Subtract $30$ from $-6$ to get $-36$.

$$9y=-36$$

Divide both sides by $9$.

$$y=\frac{-36}{9}$$

Divide $-36$ by $9$ to get $-4$.

$$y=-4$$
