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.

Answer 1

To solve the equation y7 - 3 = 39, Beejal should follow these steps:

Step 1: Add 3 to both sides of the equation.
y7 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
y7 = 42

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 1/7.
(1/7)(y7) = (1/7)(42)
y = 6

Therefore, the solution to the equation y7 - 3 = 39 is y = 6.
