YX=2, I assume you need to get the 'X' and 'Y' alone. Also just for future reference, you're trying to get variables alone and all the numbers on the other side. Lastly, whatever you do to one side you do to the other. Good luck!
John owes 15 dollars to Bill, then another 2 dollars to Joey. How much money does John have?

Answer:
-5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
1
/3 = n + 3
/4
Step 1: Flip the equation.
n + 3
/4 = 1/
3
Step 2: Subtract 3/4 from both sides.
n+ 3
/4 − 3/4 = 1/
3 − 3
/4
n= −5
/12
I am thinking your answer is 78 students. You do 1/5 times 390. And I think the the part about the dog is just extra information.
