5y-3y+1=7

solve for y

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5y-3y+1=7

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5y-3y+1=7

5y+-3y+1=7

(5y+-3y) + (1) = 7 (Combine Like Terms)

2y+1=7

2y+1=7

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

2y+1-1=7-1

2y=6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2y / 2 = 6 / 2

y=3
