Beejal is solving the equation y7 − 3 = 39.(1 point)

Question

As a first step, he starts by adding  to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by   on each side. 

Answer 1

To solve the equation y^7 - 3 = 39, Beejal starts by adding 3 to both sides of the equation.

y^7 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3

This simplifies to:

y^7 = 42

Now, Beejal continues by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 7, which is 1/7.

(y^7) * (1/7) = 42 * (1/7)

This simplifies to:

y = 6

So, the solution to the equation is y = 6.
