Answer:
y = 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable.
7 = 35y
7/35 = (35y/35)
1/5 = 1y
y = 1/5
_____
A number divided by itself is 1. A number multiplied by 1 is unchanged.
To get from 35y to 1y, or y, divide by 35. That gives you (35/35)y = 1y = y.
Whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side. Dividing 7 by 35 gives 7/35 = (7/7)×(1/5) = 1/5.
