Question

$$770 \div (36-y)=35$$

Solve for y

$y=14$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $y$ cannot be equal to $36$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $-y+36$.

$$770=35\left(-y+36\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $35$ by $-y+36$.

$$770=-35y+1260$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-35y+1260=770$$

Subtract $1260$ from both sides.

$$-35y=770-1260$$

Subtract $1260$ from $770$ to get $-490$.

$$-35y=-490$$

Divide both sides by $-35$.

$$y=\frac{-490}{-35}$$

Divide $-490$ by $-35$ to get $14$.

$$y=14$$
