Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  8 • (2y + 3) -  10  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   16y + 14  =   2 • (8y + 7) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  2 • (8y + 7)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    8y+7 = 0 

 Subtract  7  from both sides of the equation : 
                      8y = -7
Divide both sides of the equation by 8:
                     y = -7/8 = -0.875
