Question
Solve the following equation: 8y = 3- 3y
✓
Answer
8y = 3- 3y
⇒ 18 - 3 = 3 - 3y - 3 (Substrating 3 from both sides)
⇒ 15 = - 3y
$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{-3}=\frac{-3 y}{-3} \quad$ (Dividing by -3 )
⇒ - 5 = y
∴ y = - 5
⇒ 18 - 3 = 3 - 3y - 3 (Substrating 3 from both sides)
⇒ 15 = - 3y
$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{-3}=\frac{-3 y}{-3} \quad$ (Dividing by -3 )
⇒ - 5 = y
∴ y = - 5
