Solve -9+3y-7y+17-6+2y=14-7y+8-2y-6

$$- 9 + 3 y - 7 y + 17 - 6 + 2 y = 14 - 7 y + 8 - 2 y - 6$$

Solve for y

$$y=2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 3y and -7y to get -4y.

$$-9-4y+17-6+2y=14-7y+8-2y-6$$

Add -9 and 17 to get 8.

$$8-4y-6+2y=14-7y+8-2y-6$$

Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.

$$2-4y+2y=14-7y+8-2y-6$$

Combine -4y and 2y to get -2y.

$$2-2y=14-7y+8-2y-6$$

Add 14 and 8 to get 22.

$$2-2y=22-7y-2y-6$$

Combine -7y and -2y to get -9y.

$$2-2y=22-9y-6$$

Subtract 6 from 22 to get 16.

$$2-2y=16-9y$$

Add 9y to both sides.

$$2-2y+9y=16$$

Combine -2y and 9y to get 7y.

$$2+7y=16$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$7y=16-2$$

Subtract 2 from 16 to get 14.

$$7y=14$$

Divide both sides by 7.

$$y=\frac{14}{7}$$

Divide 14 by 7 to get 2.

$$y=2$$
