Question

y-3(2y-7) = 76



Need help

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\bf~\frac{55}{-8}~or~-6,875$

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 3(3y - 7) = 76

y - 9y + 21 = 76 (here we get rid of the parenthesis)

y - 9y = 76 - 21 (here we take 21 to the other side of the equation)

y - 9y = 55 (here we subtract 76 - 21)

-8y = 55 (here we subtract y - 9y)

y = 55/-8 (here we take -8 to the other side of the equation)

y = $\bf~\frac{55}{-8}~or~-6,875$

Answer 2

Answer:

$y - 3(2y - 7) = 76 \\ y - 6y + 21 = 76 \\ - 5y = 55 \\ y = \frac{55}{( - 5)} \\ \boxed{y = - 11}$

-11 is the right answer.
