Question

$$7y+10=3y-9$$

Solve for y

$y = -\frac{19}{4} = -4\frac{3}{4} = -4.75$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3y$ from both sides.

$$7y+10-3y=-9$$

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

$$4y+10=-9$$

Subtract $10$ from both sides.

$$4y=-9-10$$

Subtract $10$ from $-9$ to get $-19$.

$$4y=-19$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$y=\frac{-19}{4}$$

Fraction $\frac{-19}{4}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{19}{4}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{19}{4}$$
