Question

solve 2y+5/3=26/3-y answer fast. I have an maths exam tomorrow. PLEASEE. (Grade 8)

Answer 1

   Method 2

2y + 5 / 3 = 26 / 3 - y

2y + y = 26 / 3 - 5 / 3

3y = ( 26 - 5 ) / 3

3y = 21 / 3

3y = 7

y = 7 / 3

   Method 2

2y + 5 / 3 = 26 / 3 - y

( 6y + 5 ) / 3 = ( 26 - 3y ) / 3

3( 6y + 5 ) / 3 = 26 - 3y

6y + 5 = 26 - 3y

6y + 3y = 26 - 5

9y = 21

y = 21 / 9

y = 7 / 3

     Therefore the value of y satisfying the given equation is 7 / 3
