please help me solve this
y-5/3=1
y = 1 + 5/3
y = 2 2/3
The correct answer is not shown.
y-5 / 3
Multiply 3 on both sides
(3) y-5/3 = 1( 3)
Simplify
Y-5=3
Add 5 on both sides
+5 +5
y=8
Ur welcome
Ms. Sue don't know what she's saying
1. Do you mean (y-5)/3 = 1 ? If so, y-5 = 3, Y = 8.
If you mean y - 5/3 = 1, The answer is 8/3 or 2 2/3(Ms Sue's
answer). Without the parenthesis, the tutor don't know what you mean ; because their are 2 possibilities.
To solve the equation y - 5/3 = 1, you need to isolate the variable y on one side of the equation. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to solve it:
Step 1: Add 5/3 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the -5/3 on the left side:
y - 5/3 + 5/3 = 1 + 5/3
y - (5/3) + (5/3) = 1 + (5/3)
y = 8/3
So, the solution to the equation is y = 8/3.
