Question

6y-1.5x=8 what is the answer to Y

Answer 1

`y=(16+3x)/(12)`

Explanation:

multiply both side by 10

`6y\cdot \:10-1.5x\cdot \:10=8\cdot \:10`

Refine

`60y-15x=80`

Add 15x to both sides

`60y-15x+15x=80+15x`

Simplify

`60y=80+15x`

Divide Both sides by 60

`(60y)/(60)=(80)/(60)+(15x)/(60)`

• Simplify

`(60y)/(60)`

`\mathrm{Divide\:the\:numbers:}\:(60)/(60)=1`

`=y`

• 
  `(80)/(60)+(15x)/(60)`
• 
  `\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:(a)/(c)\pm (b)/(c)=(a\pm \:b)/(c)`
• 
  `=(80+15x)/(60)`

Factor 80 · 15
`x`: 5(16 + 3
`x`)

• 
  `=(5\left(16+3x\right))/(60)`
• 
  `\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:5`
• 
  `y=(16+3x)/(12)`

Answer 2

y=
`(4)/(3) + (x)/(4)`
