3y-yz=2z I'm supposed to solve for y. How will I do this?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Factor out y first.

anonymous · Answer

So.. y(3-z)=2z ?

anonymous · Answer

Yep. Now what do you have to do to get y by itself on the left there?

anonymous · Answer

divide by 3-z?

anonymous · Answer

Yep, SOP (standard operating procedure). Follow the rules of algebra and they work all the time (well, mostly all the time..)

anonymous · Answer

So my final answer would be y=2z/3-z?

anonymous · Answer

Looks good to me, though depending on how you write it / type it, you might want to be careful with your denominators. Writing it horizontally like that, y = 2z/(3-z), the parentheses makes it more clear what all is in the denominator.
Otherwise, write it like this:
$$y = \frac{2z}{3-z}$$
