In order to solve this problem, we must first p it all variables on one side and all numbers on the other.
7y-8=6y+1
We subtract 6y from both sides to cancel it out on the right and have it on the left.
Y-8=1
Now, we put the numbers on the opposing side.
Y=9
We receive the answer Y=9
To check it, we can plug or input 9 into both equations.
7(9)-8=6(9)+1
63-8=54+1
55=55
Now that we know they are equal, we can conclude that the answer is 9.
