Question

How do you solve `\frac{y}{3}+10=65`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, subtract `color(red)(10)` from each side of the equation to isolate the `y` term while keeping the equation balanced:

`y/3 + 10 - color(red)(10) = 65 - color(red)(10)`

`y/3 + 0 = 55`

`y/3 = 55`

Now, multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(3)` to solve for `y` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(3) xx y/3 = color(red)(3) xx 55`

`cancel(color(red)(3)) xx y/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3))) = 165`

`y = 165`
