Question

show steps for solving: 434+70y/6-5y=59
Thank you.

Answer 1

Multiply 59 by (6-5y)

Answer 2

434+70y=354-295y?

Answer 3

Right, so now get the y's on one side and the numbers on the other.

Answer 4

y =-20/91 ?

Answer 5

Hmm, gone a bit wrong there, I think...

Answer 6

434+70y= 354-295y minus the 354 on both sides. 80 +70y=-294y minus 70y on both sides.

Answer 7

-295y not -294 y

Answer 8

y= -16/73 ?

Answer 9

\[\huge \checkmark\]

Answer 10

:) Thank u for helping me.

Answer 11

ur welcome.

Answer 12

Watch out for the parenthesis.
\[434+70y/6-5y=59\] is different from \[(434+70y/6)-5y=59\] which is different from \[434+(70y/6)-5y=59\] or\[434+(70y/6-5y)=59\]

I know it's boring, but it's way better to write all the necessary parenthesis.

For the \[(434+70y)/(6-5y)=59\] form, here it goes: \[434+70y=59*(6-5y)\]\[434+70y=(59*6) - (59*5y)\]\[434+70y=354 - 295y\]\[365y = -80\]\[y = -16/73\]\[y \approx -0,219\]
