Question

I need help with this question i dont get it.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets handle the fractional y's:

$\frac{5}{2}y - \frac{1}{2}y = \frac{4}{2}y$

This can be reduced down to 2y. That is easier to work with. Next we will rewrite the equation using or new value for y:

35 + 2y = 3

Subtract 35 from both sides:

2y = -32

Next, divide both sides by 2

y = -16

Check our answer:

35 + $\frac{5}{2}(-16) - \frac{1}{2}(-16) = 3$

35 -40 + 8 = 3

-5 + 8 = 3

3 = 3
