Question

If (x/3+1,y-2/3)is equal to (5/3,1/2) find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 2.

The value of y is $\frac{7}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x:

We have that:

$\frac{x}{3} + 1 = \frac{5}{3}$

Multiplying everything by 3

$x + 3 = 5$

$x = 2$

The value of x is 2.

y:

We have that:

$y - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{2}$

Least common multiple between 3 and 2 is 6, which means that we multiply everything by 6.

$6y - 4 = 3$

$6y = 7$

$y = \frac{7}{6}$

The value of y is $\frac{7}{6}$
