Answer :
use distributive property
a(b+c)=ab+ac
distribute
3(4y-1)=12y-3
2(5y+1/2)=10y+1
so nowe we have
12y-3=10y+1
subtract 10y from both sides
2y-3=1
add 3
2y=4
divide 2
y=2
y=2
a(b+c)=ab+ac
distribute
3(4y-1)=12y-3
2(5y+1/2)=10y+1
so nowe we have
12y-3=10y+1
subtract 10y from both sides
2y-3=1
add 3
2y=4
divide 2
y=2
y=2
3(4y-1)=2(5y+1/2) distribute
12y-3=10y+1
12y=10y +4
2y=4 divide each side by 2
4 divided by 2 equals 2
The answer is y=2
