Math practice worksheet featuring 72 one-step algebra equations for solving variables.

To solve for the variable \( y \) in each equation, we will isolate \( y \) on one side of the equation. Let's go through a few examples step by step to illustrate the process.

General Steps:

1. Simplify both sides of the equation if necessary.
2. Move all terms involving \( y \) to one side and all constant terms to the other side.
3. Combine like terms.
4. Solve for \( y \) by dividing both sides by the coefficient of \( y \).

Example Solutions:

#### Problem 1: \( 1y + 8 = 17 \)
1. Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
1y + 8 - 8 = 17 - 8
\]
\[
1y = 9
\]
2. Since the coefficient of \( y \) is 1, \( y = 9 \).

#### Problem 2: \( 59 = 8y + 3 \)
1. Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
59 - 3 = 8y + 3 - 3
\]
\[
56 = 8y
\]
2. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
\frac{56}{8} = \frac{8y}{8}
\]
\[
y = 7
\]

#### Problem 3: \( 54 = 9 + 9y \)
1. Subtract 9 from both sides:
\[
54 - 9 = 9 + 9y - 9
\]
\[
45 = 9y
\]
2. Divide both sides by 9:
\[
\frac{45}{9} = \frac{9y}{9}
\]
\[
y = 5
\]

#### Problem 4: \( 2 + 8y = 34 \)
1. Subtract 2 from both sides:
\[
2 + 8y - 2 = 34 - 2
\]
\[
8y = 32
\]
2. Divide both sides by 8:
\[
\frac{8y}{8} = \frac{32}{8}
\]
\[
y = 4
\]

Continuing this process for all problems:

#### Problem 5: \( 61 = 5 + 7y \)
1. Subtract 5 from both sides:
\[
61 - 5 = 5 + 7y - 5
\]
\[
56 = 7y
\]
2. Divide both sides by 7:
\[
\frac{56}{7} = \frac{7y}{7}
\]
\[
y = 8
\]

#### Problem 6: \( 5y + 7 = 47 \)
1. Subtract 7 from both sides:
\[
5y + 7 - 7 = 47 - 7
\]
\[
5y = 40
\]
2. Divide both sides by 5:
\[
\frac{5y}{5} = \frac{40}{5}
\]
\[
y = 8
\]

#### Problem 7: \( 9 = 8 + y \)
1. Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
9 - 8 = 8 + y - 8
\]
\[
1 = y
\]
\[
y = 1
\]

#### Problem 8: \( 7 = 3y + 1 \)
1. Subtract 1 from both sides:
\[
7 - 1 = 3y + 1 - 1
\]
\[
6 = 3y
\]
2. Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{6}{3} = \frac{3y}{3}
\]
\[
y = 2
\]
