y =

Answer 1

@Godlovesme

Answer 2

@freckles

Answer 3

solve for y

Answer 4

first step: See if you multiply both sides by 3 so we can get rid of that ugly fraction

Answer 5

let me know what you get after performing just this step

Answer 6

sorry for you wait lag how do i do that sorry to be bother

Answer 7

I want you to try to multiply both sides on 3 and tell me what you think you have as a result of doing that

Answer 8

so you mean 3x1?

Answer 9

3(y-1)=4y-2

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

Second step: use distributive property where possible

Answer 12

that is multiply 3(y-1)

Answer 13

3y-3=4y-2, right?

Answer 14

great
\[y-1=\frac{4y-2}{3} \\ \text{ Multiply both sides by 3 } \\ 3(y-1)=4y-2 \\ \text{ distribute on the left hand side } \\ 3y-3=4y-2\]

Answer 15

so now we want to get our terms with y on one side and the terms without y on the other side

Answer 16

There is a few ways to start out doing this.

Answer 17

Like I might decide to subtract 3y on both sides then add 2 on both sides...
You might decide you are going to subtract 4y on both sides then add 3 on both sides.
Either way here is fine.

Answer 18

so 4y+3y?

Answer 19

hmmm... how did you get that?

Answer 20

did you try to subtract 3y on both sides ?

Answer 21

\[-3=4y-3y-2\]

Answer 22

4y-3y=1y

Answer 23

yes now add 2 on both sides

Answer 24

\[y-1=\frac{4y-2}{3} \\ \text{ Multiply both sides by 3 } \\ 3(y-1)=4y-2 \\ \text{ Distribute on the left hand side } \\ 3y-3=4y-2 \\ \text{ Subtract } 3y \text{ on both sides } \\ -3=4y-3y-2 \\ \text{ add 2 on both sides } \\ -3+2=4y-3y
\]

Answer 25

-3-2=-5

Answer 26

you added 2 on both sides

Answer 27

oh you said add on give sec

Answer 28

so you should have -3+2

Answer 29

ok

Answer 30

i got -1

Answer 31

ok sounds great \[ y-1=\frac{4y-2}{3} \\ \text{ Multiply both sides by 3 } \\ 3(y-1)=4y-2 \\ \text{ Distribute on the left hand side } \\ 3y-3=4y-2 \\ \text{ Subtract } 3y \text{ on both sides } \\ -3=4y-3y-2 \\ \text{ add 2 on both sides } \\ -3+2=4y-3y \\ -1=y \]

Answer 32

so the answer is -1?

Answer 33

yes

Answer 34

Thanks:)
