MORE algebra yay?

Question

ok i know this is like my fourth question...sry!!! but ya i don't know how to do this prob cus i'm confused bout this stuff still!

-7 - 13y = 32

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use properties of equality:

-7 - 13y = 32 (Given)
7+ -7 - 13y = 7 + 32 (Addition Property of Equality; adding the same thing to both sides)
-13y = 39 (Simplification)
-13y/-13 = 39/-13 (Division Property of Equality; dviding by the same thing on both sides)
y = -3

Answer 2

Ok...

- 7 - 13y = 32

add 7 on both sides of the equation
-7 + 7 - 13y = 32+7

-13y=39

divide each side by -13

-13/-13 y = 39/-13

y = -3

Checking the answer out

-7 - 13(-3) = -7 + 39 = 32

Now, practice these principles so you do not have to ask these elementary questions again...good luck!

Answer 3

Here I'll explain it so you don't have to waste questions.

-7 - 13y = 32

you're trying to isolate y , so that you get something along the lines of y = something
You can do operations, as long as you do operations to both sides. To isolate y in this case, you must first get rid of the -7. Do this by adding the opposite of -7, which is 7
(7) + -7 - 13y = 32 + 7
7 and -7 cancel out

-13y = 39

Now divide both sides by - 13 so you just get y

-13y/-13 = 39/-13
y = -3

Answer 4

First get rid of the addition or subtraction by doing the opposite to both sides. Don't get confused over extra minus signs, since that means that the number is negative.

Get rid of (-7) so that you begin to isolate the stuff with y (you want to eventually get it by itself).

(-7) + 7 = 0

-7 -13y + 7 = 32 + 7

-13y = 32 + 7

Then divide out the (-13)

y = (32 + 7) / (-13)

Answer 5

firstly, to not get confused over the negatives, you add 7 to both sides to give you:

-13y = 39

Since y here is a negative, in order not ot be so confused once again, you change the side of the negative. So,

13y = -39

You should know how to do from here onwards.

y= -39 divided by 13
y= -3

Answer 6

I do not think there is a problem.
we need to keep y on one side and constant on other
We have to cancell the -7 on the left
so add 7 to both sides
7-7-13y = 32 +7
or -13y = 39
now to make coefficient of y as 1 devide by -13 on both sides

y = 39/(-13) = -39/13 or -3

Answer 7

step by step:

-7 - 13y = 32

-7 - 32 = 13y

-39 = 13 y

-39/13 = 13y/13

y = -3

just take it step by step, use the general idea of putting the part with the variable on one side and all the numbers on the other side, then solve

practice, practice, practice, you'll get it

Answer 8

step by step:

-7 - 13y = 32

-7 - 32 = 13y

-39 = 13 y

-39/13 = 13y/13

y = -3

Answer 9

Just get Y on one side of the equal sign

1.) -7 - 13y = 32
+7
2.) -13y = 39
\-13 = \-13
3.) y = -3

Answer 10

Sounds like you need to get your HW done... please try to understand this... i'll take the time to explain it slowly

-7 - 13y = 32 we want to add 7 to both sides to get rid of -7
+7...........+7
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
-13y = 39 we want to divide by -13 on both sides
y = 39/(-13) = -3
