Question

Pease help with this question 3y=83

Answer 1

3y = 83
y = 83/3
y = 27.67

if that were the only data

Answer 2

to solve for y, you have to divide both sides by 3 to cancel the 3.  so when you divide 3y by 3, the "3" goes away and the "83" is reduced to 26 (2/3) so your equation is:
 y = 26 (2/3).

hope this helps (;
