substitute x for y-1
2(y-1)-y=6 distribute
2y-2-y=6 subtract y in 2y
y-2=6 add 2 to get y by itself
y=8
Put y back into equation x=y-1
x=8-1
X=7
Answer:
4/15
Step-by-step explanation:
4/10*6/9
2/5*2/3
4/15
In fraction 1/2 in decimal 2.5
The solution to the linear equation is 2
<h3>How to solve the
linear equation?</h3>
The linear equation is given as:
3x - 1 upon 5 = x - 1 upon 3
Rewrite properly as
(3x - 1)/5 = (x - 1)/3
Cross multiply
9x - 3 = 5x- 5
Evaluate the like terms
4x = 8
Divide by 4
x = 2
Hence, the solution to the linear equation is 2

3 - 1/8a = 1/4
The goal is to isolate "a" and its coefficient to make the simplification process easier.
Start by subtracting 3 from both sides:
3 - 3 - 1/8a = 1/4 -3
-1/8a = 1/4 - 3
Next, multiply 3 by 4/4 to convert it into a fraction:
-1/8a = 1/4 - [3 • (4/4)]
-1/8a = 1/4 - 12/4
-1/8a = - 11/4
Multiply both sides by -8:
(-8) -1/8a = - 11/4 (-8)
a = 88/4 = 22
Therefore, a = 22.
