C)18
D)6
Answered by PsyDAG
Add 5/3 to both sides.

y = 1 + 5/3 = 2 2/3 or 8/3

Do you have a typo in your equation?
Answered by Jasmine
Nope... its y-5 divided by 3 = 1
Answered by Ms. Sue
You do have a typo in your original problem. PsyDAG correctly solved the problem you posted.

It should be

<b>(y-5)/3 = 1</b>

Multiply both sides by 3.
Answered by Jasmine
Oh, well when I solve the problem then, I get 5.33...
Answered by Jasmine
Because it would be like this: 3y - 15 = 1.
add 15 to both sides you then get 3y = 16 divided both sides by 3 and you get y = 5.33333 ect. that's not an answer, so am I solving it wrong?
