Solve 5- y/10 = y/30

Evaluate

5 - \frac{y}{10} = \frac{y}{30}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(5 - \frac{y}{10}) \times 30 = \frac{y}{30} \times 30

Simplify the equation

More Steps

150 - 3 y = \frac{y}{30} \times 30

Simplify the equation

150 - 3 y = y

Move the variable to the left side

150 - 3 y - y = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

150 - 4 y = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 4 y = 0 - 150

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 4 y = - 150

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

4 y = 150

Divide both sides

\frac{4 y}{4} = \frac{150}{4}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{150}{4}

Solution

y = \frac{75}{2}

Alternative Form

y = 37.5
