Answer:
y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3(y+7)=(y-1)
I will multiply by 3 on each side to get rid of the fractions
3*1/3(y+7)=(y-1)*3
y+7 = 3*(y-1)
Distribute the 3
y+7 = 3y -3
Subtract y from each side
y-y+7 = 3y-y-3
7 = 2y-3
Add 3 to each side
7+3 = 2y-3+3
10=2y
Divide each side by 2
10/2 = 2y/2
5 =y
