Solve the equation.
1. y-5/3 =1
A -2 ***
B 8
C 18
D 6
2. 6x + 29 =5
A -4
B -18 **
C 204
D -144
Is the first one
(y-5)/3= 1
multiply by 3 y-5 = 3
add 5 y = 8
6x =-24
divide by 6 so x = 4
the first one is a fraction
#1
y-5/3 =1
y = 1 + 5/3 = 8/3 , none of the given choices
if you meant:
(y-5)/3 =1 , which changes your question,
y - 5 = 3
y = 8
#2
6x + 29 =5
6x = -24
x = -4 , choice A
To solve the equation:
1. y - 5/3 = 1
First, isolate the variable by adding 5/3 to both sides of the equation:
y - 5/3 + 5/3 = 1 + 5/3
y = 8/3
Therefore, the answer is y = 8/3.
So, the correct answer is option B: 8.
2. 6x + 29 = 5
To solve for x, start by isolating the variable. Subtract 29 from both sides of the equation:
6x + 29 - 29 = 5 - 29
6x = -24
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:
(6x)/6 = -24/6
x = -4
Therefore, the answer is x = -4.
So, the correct answer is option A: -4.
