To solve the equation, Beejal starts by adding 3 to both sides. This gives:
y/7 − 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
Simplifying further, we get:
y/7 = 42
Next, Beejal multiplies both sides of the equation by 7 to isolate y. This gives:
7(y/7) = 42(7)
Simplifying further:
y = 294
Beejal is solving the equation y/7 − 3 = 39 .(1 point) As a first step, he starts by adding to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by on each side.
