What is - 8+3*9y=8-9-7y+299

Not sure if it's right but I got y = 18 13/16

First step is simplifying both sides of the equation.

-8 + (3) (9y) = 8 - 9 - 7y + 299

-8 + 27y = - 7y + (8 - 9 + 299)

Then, combine like terms.

-8 + 27y = - 7y + 298

Add 7y to both sides which turns 27y to 34y and gets rid of the 7y on the right side.

-8 + 34y = 298

Add 8 to both sides.

34y = 306

Divide both sides by 34.

34y/34 = 306/34

Answer: 9
