y/3.5+15=17
subtract 15 from 17. it cancels o the left side. You're left with y/3.5=2
Now make it like a fraction y/3.5=2/1
Do the butterfly 3.5*2=7
7/1=7
7 is your answer i think.
Right.
Hi Sue,
You mentioned I think at the end of the of your answer - are you not sure?
I am sure.
5y-1-3y=5 1/5
To solve the equation y/3.5 + 15 = 17, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation. Here's how:
1. Start by subtracting 15 from both sides of the equation to move the constant term to the other side:
y/3.5 = 17 - 15
Simplifying both sides of the equation:
y/3.5 = 2
2. To get rid of the division by 3.5, we multiply both sides of the equation by 3.5:
(3.5)(y/3.5) = (3.5)(2)
This will cancel out the division on the left side and give us:
y = 7
So the solution to the equation is y = 7.
