Question

How many solutions does y have if -6y + 13 + 9y = 8y - 3?

Answer 1

one solution, y =
`(16)/(5)`

Explanation:

given the equation

- 6y + 13 + 9y = 8y - 3 ( simplify left side )

3y + 13 = 8y - 3 ( subtract 3y from both sides )

13 = 5y - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

16 = 5y ( divide both sides by 5 )

`(16)/(5)` = y

the equation has on solution , that is y =
`(16)/(5)`
