Question

How do you solve `7y+5 = 6y+11`?

Answer 1

`y=6`

Explanation:

1) Get the variables to one side, do this by subtracting `6y` from both sides.
2) you now have `y+5=11`
3) now simplify by subtracting `5` from each side
4) `y=6`

Answer 2

`y = 6`

Explanation:

`7y+5=6y+11`

First, subtract `color(blue)6y` from both sides of the equation:
`7y + 5 quadcolor(blue)(-quad6y) = 6y + 11 quadcolor(blue)(-quad6y)`

`y + 5 = 11`

Now subtract `color(blue)5` from both sides:
`y + 5 quadcolor(blue)(-quad5) = 11 quadcolor(blue)(-quad5)`

Therefore,
`y = 6`

Hope this helps!
