Question

$$4y=7y-y$$

Solve for y

$y=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $7y$ and $-y$ to get $6y$.

$$4y=6y$$

Subtract $6y$ from both sides.

$$4y-6y=0$$

Combine $4y$ and $-6y$ to get $-2y$.

$$-2y=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $-2$ is not equal to $0$, $y$ must be equal to $0$.

$$y=0$$
