Question

Solve the equations a) y/4 -8= -2. b) 15-2/5y =11​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps you!

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) y/4 - 8 = - 2

▪︎ y/4 = -2 + 8

▪︎ y/4 = 8 - 2

▪︎ y/ 4 = 6

▪︎ y = 6 × 4

▪︎ y = 24

(b) 15 - 2/ 5y = 11

▪︎ - 2/5y = 11 - 15

▪︎ (-2/5y) = -4

▪︎ y = - 4 × 5/-2

▪︎ y = 4 × 5/2

▪︎ y = 10

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) 4/y-8=-2 (1st equation)

from (1) equation

4/y=-2-(-8)

4/y=-2+8

4/y=6

y=6*4

y=24

(b) 15-2/5y= 11

75y-2/5y=11

75y-2=55y

-2=55y-75y

-2=-20y

cut the minus with each other

2= 20y

y= 10
