Problem

Solve for y in the equation 3(x - 2) - 7y = 5 + y.

2

Step

The given equation is

3(x - 2) - 7y = 5 + y

3

Step

Let’s start by distributing the terms

3x - 6 -7y = 5 + y

4

Step

Move y term to right side and constant to left side

3x - 6 - 5 = y + 7y

5

Step

After simplify

3x - 11 = 8y

6

Step

Then slove for y

\$y = (3x -11) /8\$

7

Solution

So, the solution for y is \$y = (3x -11) /8\$.
