Question

MARK YOU BRAILIST PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY AND SHOW YOUR WORK Which process was used to obtain the equation shown in Step 2?

Step 1: y/3 - 1/4 = 5
Step 2: 4y - 3 = 60
A.added to both sides of the equation
B.added 5 to both sides of the equation
C.multiplied both sides of the equation by 12
D.divided both sides of the equation by 12

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Multiply by 12 on both sides.

Start with step one

y/3 - 1/4 = 5 Multiply both sides by 12

12(y/3 - 1/4) = 5*12

12*y/3 - 12 * 1/4 = 60

3 goes into 12 four times

4 goes into 12 three times. In both cases you are cancelling.

4y - 3 = 60
