Question

What is the value of y in 8 + (6/y) = 53 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

8+(6/y)=53

We move all terms to the left:

8+(6/y)-(53)=0

Domain of the equation: y)!=0

y!=0/1

y!=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+6/y)+8-53=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(+6/y)-45=0

We get rid of parentheses

6/y-45=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-45*y+6=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-45y+6=0

We move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right

-45y=-6

y=-6/-45

y=2/15

hope this helps.
