Answer:
y=2 16/25
in other words, two and sixteen twenty-fifths
Step-by-step explanation:
y/2-1/5=2-y/3
Move the variables to one side and constants to the other
y/2+y/3=2+1/5
Multiply y/2 by 3/3 and y/3 by 2/2 so that they have a common denominator
3y/6+2y/6=2 1/5
5y/6=11/5
Cross multiply
66=25y
y=66/25
y=2 16/25
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
We are given with an equation in <em>variable y</em> and we need to solve for <em>y</em> . So , now let's start !!!
We are given with ;
Take LCM on both sides :
<em>Multiplying</em> both sides by <em>10</em> ;

Can be <em>further written</em> as ;
Transposing <em>6y </em>to<em> LHS</em> and <em>150</em> to<em> RHS </em>


(2) answer that explanation
First, do 40 - 12 = 28 (Subtract the change), then do 28 / 7 to get 4, so then we do the cans times 3 to see how many individual balls he has, which would be 12
