Question

Solve 3(y-2)/2 = 4y+5

Answer 1

Answer:  y = -16 / 5 or -3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

3(y-2)/2 = 4y + 5

=> (3y - 6)/2 = 4y + 5   [Opening the bracket on the LHS]

=> 3y - 6 = 8y + 10       [Multiplying 2 on both sides]

=> 3y - 8y = 10 + 6

=> -5y = 16

=> y = -16 / 5 or -3.2

Answer 2

Answer:

- 16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(3y -6)/2 = 4y + 5

3y - 6 = 2(4y + 5)

3y - 6 = 8y + 10

- 8y +3y = 16

-5y = 16

y = - 16/5
