To solve the first equation:
16 - (9 1/2)y = 3y + 2116 - 9y - (1/2)y = 3y + 2116 - 9.5y = 3y + 21-9.5y - 3y = 21 - 16-12.5y = 5y = 5 / -12.5y = -0.4
To solve the second equation:
(1 1/4)y + 7.5 = 5y(5/4)y + 7.5 = 5y(5/4)y - 5y = -7.5(5 - 20)y = -7.5-15y = -7.5y = -7.5 / -15y = 0.5
Therefore, the solutions to the two equations are y = -0.4 and y = 0.5.
To solve the first equation:
16 - (9 1/2)y = 3y + 21
16 - 9y - (1/2)y = 3y + 21
16 - 9.5y = 3y + 21
-9.5y - 3y = 21 - 16
-12.5y = 5
y = 5 / -12.5
y = -0.4
To solve the second equation:
(1 1/4)y + 7.5 = 5y
(5/4)y + 7.5 = 5y
(5/4)y - 5y = -7.5
(5 - 20)y = -7.5
-15y = -7.5
y = -7.5 / -15
y = 0.5
Therefore, the solutions to the two equations are y = -0.4 and y = 0.5.
