7+y=29y
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
7+y-29y=0
Subtract 29y from both sides.
7-28y=0
Combine y and -29y to get -28y.
-28y=-7
Subtract 7 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y=\frac{-7}{-28}
Divide both sides by -28.
y=\frac{1}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-7}{-28} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -7.
