Question

Solve for y: 2 /3y + 2 = 6

Answer 1

what have you done so far?

Answer 2

subtract -2 from 2 and 6

Answer 3

yes good that gives you
\[\frac{2}{3y} = 4\]
now you want y by itself what you can do is multiply y to both sides and it cancels out
\[\frac{2}{3y} *y = 4*y\]
\[\frac{2}{3} = 4y\]

Do you know what to do know to finish it?

Answer 4

no not really

Answer 5

well look at the last part that I type you know y by itself. What can you do to take away that 4 from the y?

Answer 6

divide or subtract

Answer 7

divide. By what?

Answer 8

4?

Answer 9

Yes but remember what you do to one side you also have to do it to the other side. So you have to divide to both sides by 4.

Answer 10

so I would divide 2/3 by 4?

Answer 11

yes it seems a little tricky but what you have is
\[\frac{2}{3} * \frac{1}{4}= \frac{2}{12}\]

Answer 12

so now you have\[\frac{2}{12} =y \]

Answer 13

dont forget to simplify!

Answer 14

6!

Answer 15

\[\frac{1}{6}= y\]

Answer 16

Thanks!
