Answer
The solution is -5
Work Step by Step
7(y-2)=4y-29 Apply the distributive property
7y-14=4y-29 Add 14 to both sides
7y-14+14=4y-29 +14
7y=4y-15 Subtract 4y from both sides
7y-4y=4y-15 -4y Simplify
3y=-15 Divide by 3 on both sides
$\frac{3y}{3}$=$\frac{-15}{3}$
y= -5
The solution is -5
Check
7(y-2)=4y-29
7(-5-2)=4(-5)-29
7(-7)=-20-29
-49=-49
