Question 252601


{{{9y+5-2y=2y+5-y+3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7y+5=2y+5-y+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{7y+5=y+8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{7y=y+8-5}}} Subtract {{{5}}} from both sides.



{{{7y-y=8-5}}} Subtract {{{y}}} from both sides.



{{{6y=8-5}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6y=3}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y=(3)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=1/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{y=1/2}}} which approximates to {{{y=0.5}}}.
