Answer:

y = 18

Explanation:


(5y)/(3) = 30 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

5y = 3 × 30 = 90 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 18

Answer: y= 18

Explanation:

5y/3 = 30
First step: multiply 3 on both sides

5y/3 * 3 = 30*3

5y = 90

Second step: divide 5 on both sides (isolating variable)

5y/5 = 90/5

y = 18
