Q. Solve for y.7y2+48y=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.y= ____
Factor out common factor: Factor out the common factor y from the equation.Factor out y from 7y2 and 48y.y(7y+48)=0
Set equal to zero: Set each factor equal to zero to find the values of y.y=0 or 7y+48=0
Solve for y: Solve the second equation 7y+48=0 for y.Subtract 48 from both sides of the equation.7y=−48Divide both sides by 7.y=−748Simplify the fraction.y=−676 or y=−6.857… (as a decimal, but we want a fraction)Since we need to write the solution as an integer or a fraction in simplest form, we keep it as −676.
