Question

What is 2\3y plus y minus 4 equals 31

Answer 1

Hi

2/3 y+y-4=31

Simplify both sides of the equation

2/3 y-4=31

Combine like terms

(2/3 y+y)+(-4)=31

5/3 y-4=31

Add 4 to both sides

5/3 y-4+4=31+4

5/3 y=35

Multiply both sides 3/5

(3/5)*(5/3 y)=(3/5)*35

y=21

I hope that's help !

Answer 2

Alright let's add like terms and we get 5/3y=35. Now we can multiply each side by 3/5 (reciprocal) and y=21
