Question

$$\frac{7y}{5}=y-y$$

Solve for y

$y=0$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $5$.

$$7y=5y-5y$$

Combine $5y$ and $-5y$ to get $0$.

$$7y=0$$

Product of two numbers is equal to $0$ if at least one of them is $0$. Since $7$ is not equal to $0$, $y$ must be equal to $0$.

$$y=0$$
