Beejal is solving the equation y/7 − 3 = 39 .(1 point)

Question

As a first step, he starts by adding what
to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by
on each side.

Answer 1

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
