7y+21=5y+8
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by y+3.
7y+21-5y=8
Subtract 5y from both sides.
2y+21=8
Combine 7y and -5y to get 2y.
2y=8-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
2y=-13
Subtract 21 from 8 to get -13.
y=\frac{-13}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=-\frac{13}{2}
Fraction \frac{-13}{2} can be rewritten as -\frac{13}{2} by extracting the negative sign.
