Solve 2y-3/5=1/2

$$2 y - \frac { 3 } { 5 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{11}{20}=0.55$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add \frac{3}{5} to both sides.

$$2y=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{3}{5} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$2y=\frac{5}{10}+\frac{6}{10}$$

Since \frac{5}{10} and \frac{6}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2y=\frac{5+6}{10}$$

Add 5 and 6 to get 11.

$$2y=\frac{11}{10}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$y=\frac{\frac{11}{10}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{11}{10}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{11}{10\times 2}$$

Multiply 10 and 2 to get 20.

$$y=\frac{11}{20}$$
