To solve the equation \( \frac{35}{y} + 2 = 9 \), follow these steps:
-
Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ \frac{35}{y} = 9 - 2 \] \[ \frac{35}{y} = 7 \]
-
Now, multiply both sides by \( y \) to eliminate the fraction: \[ 35 = 7y \]
-
Divide both sides by 7: \[ y = \frac{35}{7} \] \[ y = 5 \]
So, the solution is \( y = 5 \).
