Question

P=3y/q solve for y make sure to add steps pls

Answer 1

Solving for y gives:

`y = (pq)/(3)`

Explanation:

Linear equations are the equations that are degree one equations. When it is asked to solve an equation for a specific variable that means that the specified variable has to be isolated on one side of the equation i.e. in the given question solving for y means isolating y on one side of the equation.

Given equation is:

`p = (3y)/(q)`

Multiplication property of equality(Multiplying both sides by q)

`p*q = (3y)/(q) * q\\pq = 3y`

Division property of equality(Dividing both sides by 3)

`(pq)/(3) = (3y)/(3)\\(pq)/(3) = y`

Hence,

Solving for y gives:

`y = (pq)/(3)`
