Question 104611
{{{y-7/3=11}}} Start with the given equation




{{{(3)(y-7/3)=(3)(11)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCM of 3. This will eliminate the fractions  (note: if you need help with finding the LCM, check out this <a href=http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/divisibility/least-common-multiple.solver>solver</a>)





{{{3y=33+7}}}Add 7 to both sides



{{{3y=40}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{y=(40)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y

Answer:

So our answer is {{{y=40/3}}}  (which is approximately {{{y=13.3333333333333}}} in decimal form)
