Question

Solve the equation.

1/5y - 1 = 9

a) 45
b) 2
c) 40
d) 50

@KevinSlm , can you help?

Answer 1

Add \(1\) to both the sides, in case if I am allowed to help..

Answer 2

You are allowed. c:

Answer 3

Then Add \(1\)..

Answer 4

What will you get when you will add \(1\) both the sides?

Answer 5

Yea

Answer 6

you get 1/5y = 10

Answer 7

So would you do 1/5y =10/5 or no?

Answer 8

This is right:
\[\frac{1}{5}y =10\]

Answer 9

Now, multiply by \(5\) both the sides and tell me what you got?

Answer 10

The answer is 50?

Answer 11

Yes it is..

Answer 12

\[y =50\]

Answer 13

Good..:)

Answer 14

\[\dagger\]

Answer 15

1/5y - 1 = 9
1/5y - 1 = 9 +1
1/5y - 1 = 10
1/5y - 1 = 10 *5
1/y = 50
1/y = 50 * 1
y = 50
