Algebra.Com's Answer #406386 by shweta(56)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5y -2(y-5)=19 \n" ); document.write( " according to BODMAS rule, we will first open the bracket \n" ); document.write( " 5y -2y +10 =19 {{-2)*(-5); Here we are multiplying two negative number,so the answer will be positive, +10} \n" ); document.write( " 3y +10 = 19 \n" ); document.write( " Now subtract 10 from both the sides \n" ); document.write( " 3y +10 - 10 =19 -10 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " 3y = 9 To get the value of 'y', we need to separate it from 3 but \n" ); document.write( " here 3 is neither added nor subtracted to 'y' ,rather it is \n" ); document.write( " multiplied to 'y'. In this case when we shift 3 to the \n" ); document.write( " opposite side of the 'equal to' sign ,it will be divided \n" ); document.write( " there. \n" ); document.write( " y= 9/3 \n" ); document.write( " y= 3 \n" ); document.write( " |
