Question

If x -1 = 2y/3,then y=​

Answer 1

`\Large \boxed{{y = (3)/(2)(x-1)}}`

Explanation:

We have to solve for the y variable.

The variable must be isolated on one side of the equation.

x - 1 =
`(2y)/(3)`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

3(x - 1) = 2y

Divide both sides of the equation by 2.

`(3)/(2)` (x - 1) = y

Answer 2

The answer is

`y = (3x - 3)/(2)`

Explanation:

`x - 1 = (2y)/(3)`

To solve for y cross multiply

That's

3( x - 1) = 2y

2y = 3x - 3

Divide both sides by 2 to make y stand alone

That's

`(2y)/(2) = (3x - 3)/(2)`

We have the final answer as

`y = (3x - 3)/(2)`

Hope this helps you
