Question

$$3y+4y-2y+2y-32=87$$

Solve for y

$y=17$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $3y$ and $4y$ to get $7y$.

$$7y-2y+2y-32=87$$

Combine $7y$ and $-2y$ to get $5y$.

$$5y+2y-32=87$$

Combine $5y$ and $2y$ to get $7y$.

$$7y-32=87$$

Add $32$ to both sides.

$$7y=87+32$$

Add $87$ and $32$ to get $119$.

$$7y=119$$

Divide both sides by $7$.

$$y=\frac{119}{7}$$

Divide $119$ by $7$ to get $17$.

$$y=17$$
