Question 178203: can someone please show me how to solve this problem
Solve for y:
2y-3 +y-3 =y+5-1
_____ ____ ________
9 2 6

Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(2y-3)/9 + (y-3)/2 = (y+5)/6 - 1
---------------------------------
Multiply thru by 18 to get:
2(2y-3) + 9(y-2) = 3(y+5) - 18
13y -24 = 3y -3
10y = 21
y = 21/10
