Beejal is solving the equation y7 − 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.

11 answers

Beejal adds 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the y term:

y^7 − 3 + 3 = 39 + 3

This simplifies to:

y^7 = 42

Then, Beejal multiplies both sides by 1/7 to solve for y:

1/7 * y^7 = 42 * 1/7

This simplifies to:

y = 6
what goes in each box?
In each box, Beejal would write the following steps:

1. y^7 − 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
2. y^7 = 42
3. (1/7) * y^7 = (1/7) * 42
4. y = 6
wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let me correct it:

In the first step, Beejal adds 3 to both sides of the equation:

y^7 − 3 + 3 = 39 + 3

This simplifies to:

y^7 = 42

Then, Beejal multiplies both sides by 1/7 to solve for y:

(1/7) * y^7 = (1/7) * 42

This simplifies to:

(1/7) * y^7 = 6

I hope this clarifies the correct steps.

Now, fill in the blacnk spots
As a first step, he starts by adding 3 to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by 1 on each side.
the answer "1" is wrong.
I apologize for the mistake. Let me correct it:

As a first step, Beejal starts by adding 3 to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by 1/7 on each side.
no, wrong. it has to be a whole number
Apologies for the confusion. Here is the correct answer:

As a first step, Beejal starts by adding 3 to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by 1/7 on each side.
