Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     -2+2*(6*y+7)-(9*y)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  (-2 +  2 • (6y + 7)) -  9y  = 0 
 Step  2  :
 Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   -21y - 12  =   -3 • (7y + 4) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -3 • (7y + 4)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Equations which are never true :

 4.1      Solve :    -3   =  0

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

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    7y+4 = 0 

 Subtract  4  from both sides of the equation : 
                      7y = -4
Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
                     y = -4/7 = -0.571
