Question

$$7/8y-6=8$$

Solve for y

$y=16$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $6$ to both sides.

$$\frac{7}{8}y=8+6$$

Add $8$ and $6$ to get $14$.

$$\frac{7}{8}y=14$$

Multiply both sides by $\frac{8}{7}$, the reciprocal of $\frac{7}{8}$.

$$y=14\times \frac{8}{7}$$

Express $14\times \frac{8}{7}$ as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{14\times 8}{7}$$

Multiply $14$ and $8$ to get $112$.

$$y=\frac{112}{7}$$

Divide $112$ by $7$ to get $16$.

$$y=16$$
