Question: 4y + 5/3 = y - 10/2

Steps:

1. First, simplify 10/2 = 5

2. Next, make a new equation:

4y + 5/3 = y - 5

3. Then, subtract 5/3 from both sides

4y + 5/3 - 5/3 = y - 5 - 5/3

4. Simplify,

4y = y - 20/3

5. Then, subtract y from both sides

4y - y = y - y - 20/3

6. Simplify,

3y = -20/3

7. Then, divide both sides by 3

3y/3 = -20/3/3

y = -20/9 <----------Answer.


Hope this helped!!!

Hello.

The answer is:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4y+5/3=y−10/2

4y+5/3=y+−5

4y+5/3=y−5

Step 2: Subtract y from both sides.

4y+5/3−y=y−5−y

3y+5/3=−5

Step 3: Subtract 5/3 from both sides.

3y+5/3−5/3=−5−5/3

3y=−20/3

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3.

3y3=−20/33

y=−20/9

Have a nice day
