Math equation - quite simple?

2009-05-17 12:01 pm

If i have the equation:

-y = -7 - x

Does the negative sign on both sides of the equation cancel out? Therefor making the equation like this:

y = 7 + x

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Yes, you are right!

It is the same as multiplying (-1) throughout the whole equation. So,

(-1) * (-y) = (-1) * (-7 - x)

which results in

y = 7 + x

Hope this helps!

Yes you are right.

-y = -7 -x
-(y) = -(7+x)
y = 7+x
