How can I solve this linear equation? 3/4y=y/16+8

Question

Please help solve this equation! I've been stressing over this topic for weeks now! I really need help! Please, go into detail as much as you possibly can.

Answer 1

3/4y = y/16+8

 

Multiply both sides by 16:

 

12y = y + 128

 

Subtract y from both sides:

 

11y = 128

 

Divide both sides by 11:

 

y = 128/11 = (121 + 7)/11 = 11+7/11
