Question:

Solve the following equation: 7y + 4y + 2 = ?

Solution:

To solve the equation 7y + 4y + 2 = ?, we first combine like terms:

7y + 4y = 11y

So the equation becomes:

11y + 2 = ?

Without a value on the right-hand side of the equation, we cannot solve for 'y'. The equation is incomplete. To solve it, a value must be given for the right-hand side. For example, if the equation were 7y + 4y + 2 = 10, then we could solve it as follows:

11y + 2 = 10
11y = 10 - 2
11y = 8
y = 8/11
