Answer:

○ Subtract 8 from both sides, then divide both sides by 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps the usual sequence of steps is ...

add 8:

3y = 27

divide by 3 (equivalently, multiply by 1/3)

y = 9

___

If the division by 3 is done first, then the constant on the left becomes -8/3, so cancelling it requires adding 8/3 to both sides of the equation.

_____

If you do the last suggestion, you get ...

subtract 8 from both sides:

-16 +3y = 11

divide both sides by 1/3:

-48 +9y = 33 . . . . . . . does not solve the equation completely

Given:

A square and an equilateral triangle have the same perimeter

Each side of the triangle is 4 inches longer than each side of the square.

What to find:

What is the perimeter of the square =?

Solution:

Let the side of the square be

Then the side of the triangle will be

The Perimeter of square = Perimeter of an equilateral triangle

Subtracting both sides by

side of the square, = 12 inches

side of triangle will be , 12 + 4 = 16 inches

Now, the perimeter of the square =

Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 48 inches.
