Question

Solve y-8/3=-7 show work

Answer 1

Answer: y = -13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\displaystyle \frac{y-8}{3} =-7$

Multiply both sides by 3:

$\displaystyle y-8 = -21$

Add 8 to both sides:

$\displaystyle y= -13$

Answer 2

Solution :

Given equation,

• y - 8 / 3 = -7

Aim :

• To find value of y.

Cross multiplying them,

>> y - 8 = -7 × 3

>> y - 8 = -21

Transposing -8 from L.H.S. to R.H.S.,

>> y = -21 + 8

>> y = -13

Therefore :

• Value of y is -13.
