Question

How do you solve `\frac { y } { 5} + 10= 15`?

Answer 1

`y=25`

Explanation:

To eliminate the fraction, multiply all terms on both sides of the equation by 5.

`cancel(5)^1xxy/cancel(5)^1+(5xx10)=(5xx15)`

`rArry+50=75`

subtract 50 from both sides.

`ycancel(+50)cancel(-50)=75-50`

`rArry=25" is the solution"`
