Answer:

y=7.5

Explanation:

Step 1) Add five on both sides.

2/3(30+2y)-5+5=35+5

2/3(30+2y)=40

Step 2) Divide by 2/3 on both sides.

30+2y=30*3/2

30+2y=45

Step 3) Subtract 30 on both sides.

30+2y-30=45-30

2y=15

Step 4) Divide by two on both sides.

y=15/2

y=7.5

Hope this helps.

Answer:

15

Explanation:

Distribute the 2/3


(2)/(3)
((30)/(1)) +
(2)/(3)
((2y)/(1)) - 5 = 35

20 +
(4y)/(3) - 5 = 35

15 +
(4y)/(3) = 35 Multiply all the way through by 3

45 + 4y = 105 Subtract 45 from both sides

4y = 60 Divide both sides by 4

y = 15
