Beejal is solving the equation y/7 − 3 = 39

Question

.(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.

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{y}{7} - 3 = 39 \), let's go through the steps Beejal might take.

1. Add 3 to both sides:
   \[ \frac{y}{7} - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{y}{7} = 42 \]

2. Multiply both sides by 7:
   \[ 7 \cdot \frac{y}{7} = 42 \cdot 7 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 294 \]

Thus, the specific values Beejal adds and multiplies by are:

• Add: 3
• Multiply by: 7

The solution to the equation is \( y = 294 \).
