Solve 1-y+25=3y-71

$$1 - y + 25 = 3 y - 71$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{97}{4} = 24\frac{1}{4} = 24.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 1 and 25 to get 26.

$$26-y=3y-71$$

Subtract 3y from both sides.

$$26-y-3y=-71$$

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

$$26-4y=-71$$

Subtract 26 from both sides.

$$-4y=-71-26$$

Subtract 26 from -71 to get -97.

$$-4y=-97$$

Divide both sides by -4.

$$y=\frac{-97}{-4}$$

Fraction \frac{-97}{-4} can be simplified to \frac{97}{4} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$y=\frac{97}{4}$$
