Question

how to solve 2y + 5/2 = 37/2

Answer 1

2y + 5/2 = 37/2
2y = (37/2)-(5/2)
2y = (37-5)/2
2y = 32/2
2y = 16
y = 16/2

y = 8

Answer 2

2y + 5/2 = 37/2,

2y = (37/2)-(5/2),

2y = (37-5)/2,

2y = 32/2,

2y = 16,

y = 16/2 and y = 8.

This problem is very easy to solve by taking integer values and calculate accordingly.

So, it is helpful for the students solve and find the value of y using common factors.
