Question

Solve the equation. Check your solution.

$-7=\frac{y}{7}$

Answer 1

Step 1 : Solve the inequality

We have,

$\Rightarrow -7=\frac{y}{7}$

$\Rightarrow -7\times 7=\frac{y}{7}\times 7$ [ Multiply both sides by $7$ ]

$\therefore y=-49$

Step 2 : Checking the solution

Check the solution by putting $y=-49$in the given inequality

We have,

$\Rightarrow -7=\frac{y}{7}$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow -7=\frac{-49}{7} \\ \Rightarrow -7=-7 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{LHS}=\mathrm{RHS} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required solution is $y=-49$
