Question

If 4 - 2y = 7y + 13, then y =

Answer 1

First, we can simplify the equation by bringing the variable terms (with y) to one side and the constant terms to the other side:

4 - 2y = 7y + 13

Subtracting 7y from both sides:

4 - 9y = 13

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

-9y = 9

Dividing both sides by -9:

y = -1

Therefore, y is equal to -1.
