Question

Solve for y: 2 over 3y + 2 = 8

y = 11

y = -11

y = -9

y = 9

Answer 1

y=9

Answer 2

Wait are you saying 2/(3y) + 2 or 2/(3y+2)?

Answer 3

\[\frac{2}{3y+2}=8\]
multiply both sides by \(3y+2\) to clear the fraction. use parentheses
then multiply out using the distributive law

Answer 4

I did it as 2/(3y) +2

Answer 5

2/3y+2=8

Answer 6

oh maybe i am wrong

Answer 7

I'm sorry about that.

Answer 8

Ok then my answer was right. Satellite would have been right otherwise

Answer 9

Actually I'm still confused about what the initial question was. Either way, you have the right answer

Answer 10

now i am confused

Answer 11

Here I will re write it.

Answer 12

i bet it is \(\frac{2}{3}y+2=8\) am i right?

Answer 13

] Solve for y: 2/3y + 2 = 8

Answer 14

Yes.

Answer 15

Haha ok then

Answer 16

So what's the answer? I'm lost.

Answer 17

\[\frac{2}{3}x+2=8\] first step, subtract 2

Answer 18

you get
\[\frac{2}{3}x=6\]

Answer 19

My answer of y=9 is right.

Answer 20

Oh I see.

Answer 21

then multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \(\frac{2}{3}\) which is \(\frac{3}{2}\) that will give you \(1x\) on the left, or as we now know \(x\)

Answer 22

\[\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{2}{3}x=6\times \frac{3}{2}\]
\[x=6\times \frac{3}{2}=3\times 3=9\] as elly said

Answer 23

Thanks (:
