Question

How would I solve y/3 = y+6/8?

I know i have to cross multiply so then I get 8y = 3y + 6but what next?

Answer 1

hmm

Answer 2

my friend helped me actually, i forgot to distribute
thanks tho!!

Answer 3

\[\huge~\rm~\bf~\frac{ y }{ 3 }=\frac{ y+6 }{ 8 }\]
Cross multiply means what it means :P
you actually cross multiply
8y=3(y+6)
From here you solve for y

Answer 4

thank you !!

Answer 5

\(\bf \cfrac{y}{3}=\cfrac{y+6}{8}\implies 8(y)=3(y+6)\implies 8y=3y+18
\\ \quad \\
\textit{then, subtract "3y" from both sides}\)

Answer 6

^I was hoping they would do that part them self so that they would learn.
Anyways yw ^_^
Welcome to openstudy!

Answer 7

yea i understand how to distribute i just forgot to do it

Answer 8

a(b+c)=a*b+a*b
3(y+6)=3*y+3*6
