Solve 3(9/5)-y=5

$$3 ( \frac { 9 } { 5 } ) - y = 5$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 3\times \frac{9}{5} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 9}{5}-y=5$$

Multiply 3 and 9 to get 27.

$$\frac{27}{5}-y=5$$

Subtract \frac{27}{5} from both sides.

$$-y=5-\frac{27}{5}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{25}{5}.

$$-y=\frac{25}{5}-\frac{27}{5}$$

Since \frac{25}{5} and \frac{27}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-y=\frac{25-27}{5}$$

Subtract 27 from 25 to get -2.

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

Multiply both sides by -1.

$$y=\frac{2}{5}$$
