Bernal is solving the equation y/7-3=39

Question

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 y/7 - 3 = 39, Bernal starts by adding 3 to both sides of the equation:

y/7 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3

This simplifies to:

y/7 = 42

Next, Bernal multiplies both sides of the equation by 7:

7 * (y/7) = 7 * 42

This simplifies to:

y = 294

So the solution to the equation is y = 294.
