Trouble with answer key!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Jmiah on October 02, 2002 at 18:25:23:

These are problems in my math book for which I got different answers than the answer key. However, I can not find my mistake, nor can I figure out how they got what they did. Please help!!

1. (6/9)*2-9y=8(y-4+7)
My answer= [y=(5 12/51)]
Their answer= [y=(-68/51)]

2. ([4*8-5=2]^2)-(3-6-(7^2)*9
My answer= [1285]
Their answer= [397]

If you see a flaw in the logic of either, please tell me.
