Question 96238
question :: y-1 divided by 5 equals 6 .what is y?


{{{(y-1)/5 =6}}}   ------>(1)
cross multiplying we get

{{{y-1}}}= {{{5*6}}}
{{{y-1}}}={{{ 30}}}
Adding 1 to both sides of the equation we get

{{{y}}}={{{31}}}

substitute the value of y in the  equation  (1)
{{{ 30 -1)/5}}}={{{6}}}
{{{30/5}}} ={{{6}}}
{{{6}}}={{{6}}}  thatz true!
