The value of y as a mixed number is 2 2/3
Expressions and equations
Equations are expressions separated by an equal sign.
Given the following expression:
- 1/3a + yb - 2/3b + 1/3a = 2/3a + 2b
We are to find the value of b. Making comparison on both sides, we will have:
yb - 2/3b = 2b
b(y - 2/3) = 2b
y - 2/3 = 2
y = 2 + 2/3
y = 8/3
y = 2 2/3
Hence the value of y as a mixed number is 2 2/3
