Full solution

Q. Solve for yy.\newline218y=11+78y2 - \frac{1}{8}y = 11 + \frac{7}{8}y\newliney=y = ____
  1. Rearrange equation: First, we want to get all the terms with yy on one side of the equation and the constant terms on the other side.218y=11+78y2 - \frac{1}{8}y = 11 + \frac{7}{8}yAdd 18y\frac{1}{8}y to both sides to move the yy terms to the right side.2=11+78y+18y2 = 11 + \frac{7}{8}y + \frac{1}{8}y
  2. Combine like terms: Now, combine like terms on the right side.\newline2=11+(78+18)y2 = 11 + \left(\frac{7}{8} + \frac{1}{8}\right)y\newline2=11+88y2 = 11 + \frac{8}{8}y\newline2=11+y2 = 11 + y
  3. Isolate variable: Next, we want to isolate yy. Subtract 1111 from both sides of the equation.211=y2 - 11 = y9=y-9 = y
