Solve the equation : 2y/3 - 2/5 = 5
Hint:
An equation in which highest power of any variable is always 1 is known as a Linear equation.
We will simplify the given equation and find the value of y.
The correct answer is: Value of y for the given equation is 81/10 or 8.1
Step-by-step solution:-
2y/3 - 2/5 = 5
∴ 2y/3 = 5 + 2/5 …................................................ (Taking all constants together)
∴ 2y/3 = 25/5 + 2/5 …........................................... (Making denominators same on RHS)
∴ 2y/3 = (25+2)/5
∴ 2y/3 = 27/5
∴ y = 27/5 × 3/2 ............................................. (Multiplying both sides by 3/2)
∴ y = 81/10
∴ y = 8.1
Final Answer:-
∴ Value of y for the given equation is 81/10 or 8.1.
