Solve for y. - 2 (2y-1) - y=7

y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

-2 (2y-1) - y=7

(-2) (2y) + (-2) (-1) + -y=7 (Distribute)

-4y+2+-y=7

(-4y+-y) + (2) = 7 (Combine Like Terms)

-5y+2=7

-5y+2=7

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.

-5y+2-2=7-2

-5y=5

Step 3: Divide both sides by - 5.

-5y-5=5-5

y=-1
