Question

3y-1/3=5
*we have to figure out the value of y*

Answer 1

To solve for y in the equation:

3y - 1/3 = 5

First, we need to isolate the term containing y by adding 1/3 to both sides of the equation:

3y - 1/3 + 1/3 = 5 + 1/3

Simplifying the left-hand side:

3y = 5 + 1/3

Next, we need to isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

3y/3 = (5 + 1/3)/3

Simplifying the right-hand side by finding a common denominator:

3y/3 = (15/3 + 1/3)/3

3y/3 = 16/3

Simplifying the left-hand side:

y = 16/9

Therefore, the solution to the equation 3y - 1/3 = 5 is y = 16/9.
