y-1=\frac {4y-2}{3}\]
Just to confirm,
which one of those is your equation? The way you wrote it says is the first one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it wants to know what y =equals
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the equation is y-1=4y-2/3, sorry i didnt understand what you meant at first
OpenStudy (dan815):
im just confirming* the 3 is only dividing 2?

\[3*(y-1)=3*(\frac {4y-2}{3})\\\]
OpenStudy (dan815):
3*(Y-1)=3*(4y-2)/3
OpenStudy (dan815):
here is another way to see it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3y-1=12y-2
--------
3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12y-6

you see now (12y-6)/3 =12y/3 - 6/3= 4y-2
OpenStudy (dan815):
