Question

Determine the value of y in proportion 6 y - 10 / 5 + 7 y equals 1/2

Answer 1

The value of y is
`(5)/(26)` .

Explanation:

Given expression as :

6 y -
`(10)/(5)` + 7 y =
`(1)/(2)`

or, 6 y - 2 + 7 y =
`(1)/(2)`

Or, 13 y =
`(1)/(2)` + 2

Or, 13 y =
`(5)/(2)`

So, y =
`(5)/(2* 13)`

Or, y =
`(5)/(26)`

Hence the value of y is
`(5)/(26)` . Answer
