3(5y-8)=7y
1.) Multiply 3 by the numbers in the parenthesis.
Then you have this.
15y-24=7y
2.) Subtract 7y to get y by itself on the left side. Add 24 to the other side.
15y-24=7y
-7y +24 -7y +24
3.) Subtract 15y-7y which equals 8y, then on the other side have 24.
8y=24
4.) Divide both sides by 8 to get y by itself.
8y=24
5.) Final answer is 3
Hoped I helped. I know what I wrote is not easy to follow. 3 is the answer though.

Step a million: set up the help into equations. enable the intergers be x and y. because of the fact the sum of the two is comparable to 280, we are able to set it up as follows: x + y = 280 Now we are instructed that as quickly as we divide the integer "x" via "7", the respond is the integer "y". x/7 = y I hate fractions. enable's artwork this 2d equation algebraically so as to do away with the fraction. x/7 = y (enable's multiply the two sides via 7) (7)(x/7) = y (7) x = 7y ok, now, my 2 equations are: x + y = 280 and x = 7y Step 2: substitute the 2d equation into the 1st. x + y = 280 (7y) + y = 280 7y + y = 280 Step 3: Simplify the equation. 7y + y = 280 8y = 280 Step 4: resolve for "y" 8y = 280 y = 280 ÷ 8 y = 35 (<==answer!!) ------ Bonus question: What might "x" be equivalent to? in simple terms substitute the "y" answer which you purchased into ANY of the two equations we've been given in "Step a million". x = 7y x = 7(35) x = 245 (<==answer!!) desire I helped!

3(5y-8)=7Y
Remove brackets:
15y - 24 = 7y
Gather like terms:
15y - 7y = 24
Simplify:
8y = 24
y = 24/8
y = 3

I'll show you how to do it with different numbers so that it isn't cheating.
4(2y-5)=6y
Multiply the 4 across the left side of the equation.
4(2y)-4(5) is
8y-20
Now you need to get both y's on the same side of the equation. To do that subtract the term w/y from both sides.
8y -20=6y
-8y =-8y
_________
-20 = -2y
Now you need to get y alone. To do that divide both sides by the number preceding the y.
-20/-2 = -2/-2y
Because 2 negatives equal a positive the answer is
10 = y
I hope this helps. I think it's better to get to know the process than cheat and just get the answer. Use this process with your numbers and you will get the right answer.

4.
if you distribute you get 15y-24=7y
then by subtraction you get 8y-24=0
by addition you get 8y=24
divide and you get y=4
Good Luck.
