Question K, please provide steps

Answer 1

y =
`(7)/(2)`

Explanation:

Multiply all terms by the lowest common multiple of 2 and 6, that is 6

3(4y - 5) - (2y - 1) = 6y ← distribute and simplify left side

12y - 15 - 2y + 1 = 6y

10y - 14 = 6y ( add 14 to both sides )

10y = 6y + 14 ( subtract 6y from both sides )

4y = 14 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y =
`(14)/(4)` =
`(7)/(2)`
