Question

3x+1/5y=7 solve for y

Answer 1

Hello!

First, let's write the problem.

`3x+(1)/(5)y=7`
Subtract 3x from both sides.

`3x+(1)/(5)y-3x=7-3x`

`(1)/(5)y=7-3x`
The opposite of division is multiplication, so we are going to multiply in order to undo the fraction.

`5\cdot (1)/(5)y=5\cdot \:7-5\cdot \:3x`

Our final answer would be,

`y=35-15x`

Thanks!
