Question

how to solve 2y + 5 = 37/2

Answer 1

Answer:

2(2y+5)=37

4y+10=37

4y=37-10

4y=27

y=6.75

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of y is $\frac{27}{4}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$2y + 5 = \frac{37}{2}$

To find:- The value of y,

To solve this equation, we have to use the transposition method:  

As we have,

=> $2y + 5 = \frac{37}{2}$

Subtract both sides by $5$, we get

=> $2y + 5 -5= \frac{37}{2}-5$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $2y = \frac{27}{2}$

Divide both sides by $2$, we get

=> $\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{\frac{27}{2}}{2}$

=> y = $\frac{27}{4}$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{27}{4}$.
