Answer 1

`y=15`

Explanation:

How to solve:
`y-7=8`

1.
`ycolor(red)cancel(-7)=8`
First we cancel out the `-7` on the left hand side of the equation by adding `7`.

2.
`y=8color(red)(+7)`
If we cancel out the `-7` on one side by adding 7, we must then complete the equation by adding 7 to the other side.

3.
`y=15`
Add together all like terms. In this case, we add together 7 and 8 to make 15.
