Solve -2y-6-1=2y 1

Evaluate

- 2 y - 6 - 1 = 2 y \times 1

Subtract the numbers

- 2 y - 7 = 2 y \times 1

Multiply the terms

- 2 y - 7 = 2 y

Move the variable to the left side

- 2 y - 7 - 2 y = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 4 y - 7 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 4 y = 0 + 7

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 4 y = 7

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

4 y = - 7

Divide both sides

\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{- 7}{4}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{- 7}{4}

Solution

y = - \frac{7}{4}

Alternative Form

y = - 1.75
