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

1 answer

To isolate y, we need to get rid of the -3 on the left side of the equation. To do this, we can add 3 to both sides:

(y/7) - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
y/7 = 42

Now we need to isolate y by getting rid of the division by 7. To do this, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 7:

7 * (y/7) = 42 * 7
y = 294

So the solution to the equation y/7 − 3 = 39 is y = 294.
