Question

$$3y+39=8$$

Solve for y

$y = -\frac{31}{3} = -10\frac{1}{3} \approx -10.333333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $39$ from both sides.

$$3y=8-39$$

Subtract $39$ from $8$ to get $-31$.

$$3y=-31$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$y=\frac{-31}{3}$$

Fraction $\frac{-31}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{31}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{31}{3}$$
