Answer 1

Property of Equality

Y= -13/7

Explanation:

7y – 15 = –29.

Applying rule of equality which is"anything done on one side of the equal sign should be done also on the other side of the equal sign"

7y – 15 = –29.

Adding 15 to both sides

7y - 15+15= -28+15

7y= -13

Dividing throughout by 7

7y/7= -13/7

Y= -13/7
