5y -7 + y = 7y + 21 -5y
Or 6y - 7 = 2y + 21
Or 4y = 21-7 = 14
Therefore, y = 14/4 = 3.5

Clear fractions or decimals first.
x - + x = + x
Or x + x - x = +
Or
Or
Therefore, x = 8/16 = ½

0.96y - 0.79 = 0.21y + 0.46
Or 0.96y - 0.21y = 0.79 + 0.46
Or 0.75y = 1.25
Therefore, y = 1.25/0.75 = 1.6667

5(t + 3) + 9 = 3(t-2) + 6
Or 5t + 15 + 9 = 3t - 6 + 6
Or 5t + 24 = 3t
Or 2t = -24
Or t = -12

13 - (2c + 2) = 2(c + 2) + 3c
Or 13 - 2c - 2 = 2c + 4 + 3c
Or 11 - 2c = 5c + 4
Or 11 - 4 = 5c + 2c
Or 7 = 7c
Therefore, c = 1

46. Ax + By = c, for y
By = c - Ax
Therefore, y = (c - ...
