4*7y+9+1=10
10
- 1
- 9
--------
0
so then get 4*7y to 0 (so y = 0.....giving you 4*7y......4*(7*0).......4*(0)....0)
so y = 0
I could be wrong, but it may be right
4×7y+9+1=10
28y+9+1=10
28y+10=10
28y+10−10=10−10
28y+0=10−10
28y=10−10
28y=0
28y28=028
1y1=028
1y=028
y=028
y=0
Now put the answer you came up with and put back into the original equation and solve to see if the answer you came up with is the correct answer.
4×7y+9+1=10
4×7×0+9+1=10
28×0+9+1=10
0+9+1=10
9+1=10
10=10
Because you came up with 10=10, that means that y=0 is the correct answer.
