Question

Solve the equation
3y - 5 = -1/3​

Answer 1

Answer:

3y - 5 = -1/3

3y = 5 - 1/3

3y = (15 - 1)/3

3y = 14/3

3 × 3y = 14

9y = 14

y = 9/14

Answer 2

Answer:

HEY!! HERE IS YOUR REQUIRED ANSWER STEPWISE-:

1. Add 5 to both sides of the equation

$3y \: - \: 5 = - \frac{1}{3}$

$= 3y - 5 + 5 = - \frac{1}{3} + 5$

2. Simplify

$3y = \frac{14}{3}$

3. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

$3y = \frac{14}{3}$

$\frac{3y}{3} = \frac{14}{3} \div 3$

4. Simplify

• Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator
• Divide the numbers

$y = \frac{14}{3}$

THUS,THE ANSWER IS-:

$y = \frac{14}{3}$
