Solve y/52=3(y-40)

Evaluate

\frac{y}{52} = 3 (y - 40)

Cross multiply

y = 52 \times 3 (y - 40)

Simplify the equation

y = 156 (y - 40)

Expand the expression

More Steps

y = 156 y - 6240

Move the variable to the left side

y - 156 y = - 6240

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 155 y = - 6240

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

155 y = 6240

Divide both sides

\frac{155 y}{155} = \frac{6240}{155}

Divide the numbers

y = \frac{6240}{155}

Solution

y = \frac{1248}{31}

Alternative Form

y \approx 40.258065
