Answer :
2/7y + 5 = 9
Subtract 5 from both sides
2/7y = 4
Multiply both sides by 7
2y = 28
Divide both sides by 2
y = 14
Subtract 5 from both sides
2/7y = 4
Multiply both sides by 7
2y = 28
Divide both sides by 2
y = 14
2/7y+5=9
*it is important to note that 2 divided by 7 is the same as the fraction 2 over 7 or 2 7ths. Fractions are division.
1.) Multiple 7 by each side
2y+5=63
2.) subtract 5 from each side
2y=58
3.) divide each side by 2
y=29
4) Check your answer
2(29)+5=63
58+5=63
63=63
5.) y=29
