Question

5[5y -6] = 4[y -7]
solve the equation by balancing the equation

Answer 1

Answer: 2/21

Explanation:

5[5y -6] = 4[y -7]

We first need to open the bracket to be able to solve the question

25y - 30 = 4y - 28

Collect like terms

25y - 4y = -28 + 30

21y = 2.

y = 2/21

Therefore, the value for y is 2/21.
