Question

8y - 17 2 - 1
---- = --- y
4 3​

Answer 1

8y-17/4= 2-1/3y

32y/4 - 17/4 = 6/3 - 1/3y (by LCM)

4 (6-1y)= 3 (32y-17) By cross-multiplication

24-4y = 96y-51

- 4y -96y = -51 -24

-100y = -75

y = -75/-100

y= 3/4

Answer 2

$\bf\purple{∆Nswer}$

Answer:

y= 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

8y-17/4= 2-1/3y

32y/4 - 17/4 = 6/3 - 1/3y (by LCM)

4 (6-1y)= 3 (32y-17) By cross-multiplication

24-4y = 96y-51

- 4y -96y = -51 -24

-100y = -75

y = -75/-100

y= 3/4
