Question

5y-1 divided by 24 equals 3/8

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

5y-1/24 = 3/8

you cross multiply over the bracket

8(5y-1) = 3×24

40y - 8 = 72

collect the lie terms

40y = 72 + 8

40y = 80

divide via by 40

40y/40 = 80/40

y = 2

Answer 2

Answer: y=2

Explanation:

1. You have the following expression given in the problem above:

`(5y-1)/(24)=(3)/(8)`

2. Therefore, to solve the equation you must solve for y as following:

`(5y-1)/(24)=(3)/(8)\\5y-1=(3)/(8)*24\\5y=9+1\\y=(10)/(5)`

3. Then, you obtain that the result of the exercise is:

`y=2`
