To isolate the variable y, Beejal would start by adding 3 to both sides of the equation:
y/7 − 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
This simplifies to:
y/7 = 42
Next, to get rid of the fraction, Beejal would multiply both sides of the equation by 7:
7(y/7) = 7(42)
This simplifies to:
y = 294
Beejal is solving the equation y/7 − 3 = 39 .(1 point)
As a first step, he starts by adding what
to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by
on each side.
