You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5y + 1/2 = 2y + 3
[Subtract 2y on both sides]
3y + 1/2 = 3
[Subtract 1/2 on both sides]
3y = 2 1/2
[Divide by 3 on both sides]
y = 5/6
Check your answer to make sure it's correct.
5(5/6) + 1/2 = 2(5/6) + 3
25/6 + 1/2 = 5/3 + 3
14/3 = 14/3
Your answer is correct!
