- To solve the equation 3143−332y=1218, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
3143=143×14+3=1445,
332=33×3+2=311,
1218=211×21+8=2129.
Step 2: Substitute the fractions into the equation:
1445−311y=2129.
Step 3: To solve for y, isolate y on one side of the equation:
1445−311y=2129.
Multiply all terms by the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which is 14×3×21=882:
882⋅1445−882⋅311y=882⋅2129,
2835−343y=1162.
Now, subtract 2835 from both sides:
−343y=−1673.
Finally, divide both sides by −343 to solve for y:
y=−343−1673=3431673.
So, the solution to the equation is y=3431673.
- To solve the equation (127+91y):332=61, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
332=33×3+2=311.
Step 2: Substitute the fractions into the equation:
(127+91y):311=61.
Step 3: To solve for y, isolate y on one side of the equation:
(127+91y):311=61.
Multiply both sides by 311:
