Hello !

Answer:


\Large \boxed{\sf y=-27}

Explanation:

We want to find the value of y that satisfies the following equation :


\sf (y+1)/(3) -(3y-1)/(6) =5

First, multiply both sides by 6 :


\sf 6(\sf (y+1)/(3) -(3y-1)/(6)) =6*5

Now let's expand the left side :


\sf 2y+2-(3y-1)=30

Combine like terms :


\sf -y+3=30

Now let's substract 3 from both sides :


-\sf y+3-3=30-3\\-y=27

Finally, let's multiply both sides by -1 :


\boxed{\sf y=-27}

Have a nice day ;)

Answer:

y = -27

Explanation:

  • Multiply the entire equation by 6


\sf 6*(y+1)/(3)-6*(3y-1)/(6)=6*5\\\\\\

2*(y + 1) - (3y - 1 ) = 30

  • Multiply (y +1) by 2 and (3y - 1) by (-1)

2y + 2 - 3y + 1 = 30

  • Isolate y term by taking the constant term to RHS

2y - 3y = 30 - 2 - 1

  • Combine like terms

-y = 27

y = -27
