35/y+2=9

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{35}{y} + 2 = 9 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ \frac{35}{y} = 9 - 2 \] \[ \frac{35}{y} = 7 \]

  2. Now, multiply both sides by \( y \) to eliminate the fraction: \[ 35 = 7y \]

  3. Divide both sides by 7: \[ y = \frac{35}{7} \] \[ y = 5 \]

So, the solution is \( y = 5 \).
