Question

solve this equation :-

8-3y / 5y+2 = 1/6
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:(8-3y)×6=5y+2

48-18y=5y+2

48-2=18y+5y

46=23y

Y=2

Answer 2

Given,

(8-3y)/(5y+2) = 1/6

To find,

The value of y after solving the equation.

Solution,

The value of y in (8-3y)/(5y+2) = 1/6 will be 2.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

(8-3y)/(5y+2) = 1/6

Using the cross multiplication method,

6(8-3y) = (5y+2)

Multiplying 6 into the bracket,

48-18y = 5y+2

Moving 18y from the left-hand side to the right-hand side will result in the change of the sign from minus to plus,

48 = 18y+5y+2

48 = 23y+2

23y+2 = 48

23y = 48-2

23y = 46

y = 46/23 (23 was in the multiplication on the left-hand side. So, it is in the division on the right-hand side.)

y = 2

Hence, the value of y in (8-3y)/(5y+2) = 1/6 is 2.
