Respuesta :

first, i’d put the fraction into a decimal, then distribute, for example the fraction would be multiplied by y and 3 separately. then equal that to 40. it should now be a simple equation

Answer:

y = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the distributive property:

5/9 * y and 5/9 * 3

and now you have: 5/9y + 15/9 = 40

and we have to isolate y so subtract 15/9 from both sides:

5/9y + 15/9 = 40

        - 15/9     -15/9

and now you have 5/9y = 345/9

and now divide both sides by 5/9 so: 5/9y divided by 5/9 = y

and 345/9 divided by 5/9 = 345/5 and lets simplify....

y= 69

hope this helps luv
