CHECK me on finding these xs and ys!

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

it all correct... just check y = 4 1/3 or 13/3 not 14.333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait.. waht? I can put it as 14.3 as my answer... is that not right?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

14.3 is not correct. if 3y - 6 = x - 5 then 3*14.3333 - 6 = 12 - 5 37 = 7 doesn't quite work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So thenn... what is it?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well in your equation you have 3y = 13 which is correct... you should be able to solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 divided by 3 is 4.33333 wich is what I ment alll along!! lol
