Question

Find $y$ if $1030404(3y+36) = 1030403(3y+36)$.

Answer 1

It is given that,

$1030404 x (3y+36) = 1030403 x (3y+36)$

or (3y+36) ( $1030404 - 1030403 ) = 0

or (3y+36) x 1 $ = 0

or 3y = -36$

or y = (-36/3)$

or y = -12$

Answer 2

Answer: The value of y is -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

$1030404(3y+36)=1030403(3y+36)$

We need to find the value of y.

So, it becomes,

$1030404\times 3y+1030404\times 36=1030403\times 3y+1030403\times 36\\\\1030404\times 3y-1030403\times 3y=1030403\times 36-1030404\times 36\\\\3y(1030404-1030403)=-36\\\\3y=-36\\\\y=\dfrac{36}{-3}\\\\y=-12$

Hence, the value of y is -12.
