Question
7 + 4y = - 5
✓
Answer
7 + 4y = -5
Subtracting 7 from both sides, we get
7 + 4y - 7 = -5 -7
4y = -12
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
$\text{y}=\frac{-12}{4}$
$\text{y}=-3$
Verification:
Substituting y = -3 in L.H.S., we get
L.H.S. = 7 + 4y = 7 + 4(-3) = 7 - 12 = -5, and R.H.S. = -5
L.H.S. = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
