Question

5y = 135 help me
what does y equal?

Answer 1

y = 27

Explanation:

Divide both sides of the equation by 5.

`(5y)/(5)` =
`(135)/(5)`

`y = 27`

To check if this is true, substitute 27 back into the original equation.

`5y=135`

`5(27)=135`

`135=135`

Answer 2

27

Explanation:

Solve for y:

5 y = 135

Divide both sides of 5 y = 135 by 5:

(5 y)/5 = 135/5

5/5 = 1:

y = 135/5

The gcd of 135 and 5 is 5, so 135/5 = (5×27)/(5×1) = 5/5×27 = 27:

Answer: y = 27
