Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)

2,000×4

8,000

8,000/5

Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:

8,000÷5=

1,600

1,600 of the people are middle class.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

3*y+9*11+6 = 0

3*y+105 = 0

(3*y+105)/11 = 0

(3*y+105)/11 = 0 // * 11

3*y+105 = 0

3*y+105 = 0 // - 105

3*y = -105 // : 3

y = -105/3
