Answer 1

To solve the equation 2+4y=y-7, we first need to combine like terms.

2+4y=y-7 can be rewritten as 4y - y = -7 - 2.

Simplifying this expression further, we have 3y = -9.

To solve for y, we divide both sides of the equation by 3:

3y/3 = -9/3.

This gives us y = -3.

Therefore, the correct answer is y = -3.
