Question

y-1= 4y-2 over 3

Answer 1

Hola! :D

Answer 2

hi @Qwertty123

Answer 3

Here:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-1-((4*y-2)/3)=0

Step by step solution :

Step 1 :

4y - 2
Simplify ——————
3

Answer 4

Okay then for Step 2 :

Pulling out like terms :

2.1 Pull out like factors :

4y - 2 = 2 • (2y - 1)

Answer 5

is this clear

Answer 6

Um well technically you are not suppose to give a direct answer! They have too.

Answer 7

Well um okay do you still know how to get this? @rockycatsrule

Answer 8

no is the amswer -1??????????????

Answer 9

Yes it is but here let me take you through all the steps!

Answer 10

kk

Answer 11

Okay so I left off...
Equation at the end of step 2 :

2 • (2y - 1)
(y - 1) - ———————————— = 0
3

Answer 12

Then.
Step 3 :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :

y - 1 (y - 1) • 3
y - 1 = ————— = ———————————
1 3
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Answer 13

Then:
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(y-1) • 3 - (2 • (2y-1)) -y - 1
———————————————————————— = ——————
3 3

Answer 14

oh ok

Answer 15

Step 4 :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1 Pull out like factors :

-y - 1 = -1 • (y + 1)

Equation at the end of step 4 :

-y - 1
—————— = 0

Answer 16

When 8 is subtracted from Ollie’s age, the result is the same as subtracting 16 from 3 times his age.

How old is Ollie?

Answer 17

lol I am not done yet!

Answer 18

Step 5 :

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1 When a fraction equals zero ...
Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

-y-1
———— • 3 = 0 • 3
3
Now, on the left hand side, the 3 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
-y-1 = 0

Answer 19

oh kk

Answer 20

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.2 Solve : -y-1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides of the equation :
-y = 1
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) : y = ????

Answer 21

When 8 is subtracted from Ollie’s age, the result is the same as subtracting 16 from 3 times his age.

How old is Ollie?

Answer 22

now can w do this i get it now

Answer 23

Um can you put up a new post?
