Solve for yy.

Question

minus, 10, equals, start fraction, y, divided by, 11, end fraction, minus, 13
−10=
11
y
​
−13

Answer 1

To solve the equation for \(y\), we begin by rearranging the equation to isolate \(y\) on one side.

The given equation is:
\[
-10 = \frac{y}{11} - 13
\]

First, we can add 13 to both sides of the equation to move the -13 term to the other side:
\[
-10 + 13 = \frac{y}{11}
\]

Now, combine the terms on the left side:
\[
3 = \frac{y}{11}
\]

Next, we can solve for \(y\) by multiplying both sides by 11 to cancel out the denominator:
\[
11 \cdot 3 = y
\]

So, we have:
\[
y = 33
\]

Therefore, \(y = 33\).
