Question

$$573-2(2-y)=7$$

Solve for y

$y=-281$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-2$ by $2-y$.

$$573-4+2y=7$$

Subtract $4$ from $573$ to get $569$.

$$569+2y=7$$

Subtract $569$ from both sides.

$$2y=7-569$$

Subtract $569$ from $7$ to get $-562$.

$$2y=-562$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$y=\frac{-562}{2}$$

Divide $-562$ by $2$ to get $-281$.

$$y=-281$$
