Question 75342: please solve this equarion y=2/3x-1

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=2/3x-1
2/3x-1=0 [set the equation equal to zero]
2/3x-1=0 [solve for x]
2/3x-1+1=0+1
2/3x=1
(3/2)(2/3)x=1(3/2)
x=3/2
.
check by plugging x=3/2 back into the original equation:
2/3x-1=0
(3/2)(2/3)-1=0
1-1=0
0=0 [checks out]
