Question
The solution of the equation `2y = 5y - 18/5` is ______.
Solution
The solution of the equation `2y = 5y - 18/5` is `underlinebb(6/5)`.
Explanation:
Given, `2y = 5y - 18/5`
⇒ `2y - 5y = (-18)/5` ...[Transposing 5y to LHS]
⇒ `-3y = - 18/5`
⇒ `(-3y)/(-3) = (-18)/(-3 xx 5)` ...[Dividing both sides by –3]
∴ `y = 6/5`
Hence, the solution of the given equation is `6/5`.
