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 :

                     7*(y+3)-(5*y+8)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  7 • (y + 3) -  (5y + 8)  = 0 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  2y + 13  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    2y+13 = 0 

 Subtract  13  from both sides of the equation : 
                      2y = -13
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
                     y = -13/2 = -6.500
