Question

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

Solve for y

$y=\frac{9}{25}=0.36$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $15$, the least common multiple of $3,5$.

$$5\times 5y+6=15$$

Multiply $5$ and $5$ to get $25$.

$$25y+6=15$$

Subtract $6$ from both sides.

$$25y=15-6$$

Subtract $6$ from $15$ to get $9$.

$$25y=9$$

Divide both sides by $25$.

$$y=\frac{9}{25}$$
