Simplify the given equations:
1) 8(a+1) - 7a = 98a + 8 - 7a = 9a + 8 = 9a = 1
2) (18y - 12)/6 + 5y = 143y - 2 + 5y = 148y - 2 = 148y = 16y = 2
Therefore, the solutions to the given equations are a = 1 and y = 2.
Simplify the given equations:
1) 8(a+1) - 7a = 9
8a + 8 - 7a = 9
a + 8 = 9
a = 1
2) (18y - 12)/6 + 5y = 14
3y - 2 + 5y = 14
8y - 2 = 14
8y = 16
y = 2
Therefore, the solutions to the given equations are a = 1 and y = 2.
