Question

) Solve the following equation and find value of y : 3(y – 2) = 2(y – 1) – 3

Answer 1

Answer:

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3y-6=2y+2-3

3y-2y=2-3+6

y=5

Answer 2

3(y – 2) = 2(y – 1) – 3

⇒ 3y – 6 = 2y – 2 – 3 (Removing the brackets)

⇒ 3y – 6 = 2y – 5

⇒ 3y – 2y = 6 – 5 (Transposing 6 to RHS and 2y to LHS)

⇒ y = 1

Thus y = 1
