Question

Which steps can be used to solve for the value of y? 2/3(y+57)=178

Answer 1

Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction to make your life easier.
2(y+57)=534
Apply the distributive property.
2y+114=534
Subtract 114 from both sides.
2y=420
Divide both sides by 2.
y=210 this or the image should help
