Jasmine Hood · Answer 1

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

Erica Owens · Answer 2

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
