Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is 3y+1=143y +1 = -14 . We are solving for yy

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate yy on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting1 from both sides of the equation.
y+11=141y +1 -1 = -14 -1

STEP 3

implify the equation.
3y=1413y = -14 -1

STEP 4

Calculate the right side of the equation.
3y=153y = -15

STEP 5

Now, to solve for yy, we need to divide both sides of the equation by3.
y=153y = \frac{-15}{3}

STEP 6

Calculate the value of yy.
y=5y = -5The solution set is {5}\{-5\}.
