Question

Solve for y: 2/3y + 4 = 6

Answer 1

Have you considered subtracting 4?

Answer 2

yes, and I got the equation: \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }y\]=2

Answer 3

Okay, now what? How do we get that 2/3 off of there?

Answer 4

divide or multiply by 2/3?

Answer 5

Divide be 2/3 or multiply by 3/2. You must pick. The choice is yours. Generally, multiplication is easier.

Answer 6

so the equation left would be y=3/2+2

Answer 7

No, how do we get addition on the right hand side?

\(\dfrac{2}{3}y = 2\)

\(\dfrac{3}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{3}y = \dfrac{3}{2}\cdot2\)

\(y = \dfrac{3}{2}\cdot 2\)

Simplify the right hand side.
