Question

Please help ASAP! Find y: 1/6 y− 1/2 =3− 1/2 y Thank you!

Answer 1

y =
`(21)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given

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

Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions

y - 3 = 18 - 3y ( add 3y to both sides )

4y - 3 = 18 ( add 3 to both sides )

4y = 21 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y =
`(21)/(4)` = 5.25
