Question

y-5/3 = 1

A) –2
B) 8
C) 18
D) 6

Can you tell me how to do it for future problems thanks!

Answer 1

add \(\Large{\frac{5}{3}}\) both sides :)

Answer 2

B) 8

Answer 3

In future problems if u see any question similar to this then put all constants at one sides & all variables at one side by reversing their signs :)

Answer 4

if you added the fraction to both sides wouldn't y = a fraction ;o? or decimal

Answer 5

2x+3=5
Put all variables and their coefficients at one side & constants at one side by reversing their signs
2x=5-3
2x=2
x=1

Answer 6

Is this:
\[\frac{y-5}{3}=1\]Or\[y-\frac{5}{3}=1\]
?

Answer 7

B) 8

Answer 8

its the first one @Xishem

Answer 9

If there is a plus sign then it will change to (minus) & if it is (minus) then it will change to (plus).

If there is a multiplication sign then it will change to division & if division it will change to multiplication.

Answer 10

would the answer still be one as the first problem in @xishems comment

Answer 11

\[\frac{y-5}{3}=1\]\[(3) \cdot \frac{y-5}{3}=1 \cdot (3)\]\[(5)+y-5=3+(5)\]\[y=8\]In an equation, if you perform the same operation to both sides, the equation stays true.

Answer 12

Notice how in the second line, the 3s on the left side cancel out and become y-5. And the +5 and -5 cancel out in the third line to make y.

In solving for variables, you'll always want to perform operations such that this "cancellations" occur.

Answer 13

o ty

Answer 14

if two numbers times or divide each other they cancel out?
