Answer:
The solution of the equation is y = 6/19
Step-by-step explanation:
Seems the division signs are omitted. The correct equation is given below.
The equation is:
3/4 (20y − 8) + 5 = 1/2 y + 1/4 (20y + 8)
1. Distribute 3/4 and 1/4, so that we get
15y - 6 + 5 = 1/2y + 5y + 2
2. Combine like terms, we get
15y - 1 = 11/2 y +2
Now, we will collect like terms
15y - 11/2 y = 2 + 1
This can properly written as
[tex]15y - \frac{11}{2}y = 2 + 1[/tex]
[tex]\frac{30y - 11y}{2} = 3[/tex]
[tex]\frac{19y}{2} = 3[/tex]
Then,
[tex]19y = 2 \times 3[/tex]
19y = 6
∴ y = 6/19
Hence, the solution of the equation is y = 6/19.
