Question

Solve the inequality. And show work please

5
-- y = 12
6

Answer 1

Answer: y=14.4


Step by step:
1) x6 on both sides = 5y=72
2)divide both sides by 5= y=14.4

Answer 2

y=
`(72)/(5)` or 14.4

Explanation:

`(5)/(6)y = 12\\`

Multiply both sides by 6/5, the reciprocal of 5/6.

`y = 12 * ((6)/(5) )`

Express 12 x (6/5) as a single fraction.

`y = (12 * 6)/(5)`

Multiply 12 and 6 to get 72.

`y = (72)/(5)`
