Question

Show work and explain steps! :D Medal will be given! :D

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2y }{ 3 } - \frac{ y + 3 }{ 6 } = 2\]

Answer 2

How about I explain it and YOU show me your steps?

Answer 3

1. start by finding the GFC (greatest common factor) for the denominator.
In this case, it's 6.

Answer 4

if you can explain it well

Answer 5

can you cross multiply

Answer 6

I guess you can, but you need to get the fractions into one whole fraction first.

Answer 7

Which is why your first step is to find the GCF - six.

Answer 8

after I get the gcf

Answer 9

That means that you multiply the denominator of the left fraction by 2. And remember, what you do to the bottom, you must ALSO do to the top.

Answer 10

Now, and ONLY now that you have the denominators the same, can you combine the fraction in to ONE fraction. Remember that you can perform your algebra on the numerator to combine like terms.

Once you finished that, you can "cross multiply" if you would like to and solve for "y". Capish?

Answer 11

@Firejay5 You didn't catch on to these problems from the last two people showed you how to do?

Answer 12

I got this \[\frac{ 4y - y + 3 }{ 6 } = 2 \] Is that right? @abb0t

Answer 14

I don't need a lecture @Mertsj

Answer 15

Looks right. Now combine like terms on the numerator. You have two "y" that you can combine.

Answer 16

LOL. sassy, huh @Mertsj

Answer 17

what do I do now @abb0t

Answer 18

What do you think we should do now?

Answer 19

I know to cross multiply, but how

Answer 20

Show me what you think you should do and I will tell you if it is correct or not. I don't want to do the whole problem for you.

I think that have the right idea in mind. Just try it.
