Best answer

 \(\frac{2-y}{y+7}=\frac{3}5\)

On cross multiplication, we get

5(2 - y) = 3(y + 7)

-5y + 10 = 3y + 21

On transposing 3y to LHS and to RHS

-5y - 3y = 21 - 10

-8y = 11

y = \(\frac{-11}8\)

Check:

Taking LHS

\(\frac{2-y}{y+7}\)

On substituting x = \(\frac{-11}8\) we get

We got LHS=RHS
