Zorluk: ZorSolving One-Variable Linear Equations

A linear equation is structured as follows:

12(4y−6)−23(9−6y)=2y+15 \frac{1}{2}(4y - 6) - \frac{2}{3}(9 - 6y) = 2y + 15

Based on this relationship, what is the correct value of yy?

  1. A
    -6
  2. B
    -3
  3. C
    3
  4. 6Cevap

Cevap

6
The correct value is found by properly distributing the fractional coefficients, carefully tracking negative signs, and preserving equality to isolate the variable. The operations simplify the initial equation to 6y - 9 = 2y + 15, which reduces to 4y = 24, resulting in 6.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Distribute 12 \frac{1}{2} into the first set of parentheses.
2y−3 2y - 3
Applying the distributive property eliminates the first group.
2
Distribute −23 -\frac{2}{3} into the second set of parentheses.
−6+4y -6 + 4y
Multiplying the negative fraction across the terms. Notice that multiplying two negative values (−2/3-2/3 and −6y-6y) yields a positive result (+4y+4y).
3
Combine the distributed terms on the left side of the equation.
(2y+4y)+(−3−6)=6y−9 (2y + 4y) + (-3 - 6) = 6y - 9
Combining like terms simplifies the left side of the equation before attempting to isolate the variable.
4
Set the simplified left side equal to the right side and solve for y.
6y−9=2y+15⇒4y−9=15⇒4y=24⇒y=6 6y - 9 = 2y + 15 \Rightarrow 4y - 9 = 15 \Rightarrow 4y = 24 \Rightarrow y = 6
Using inverse operations groups the variable terms on one side and constant terms on the other to reveal the final value.
