How can you solve this math problem

2/7y+5=9

2/7y+5=9

*it is important to note that 2 divided by 7 is the same as the fraction 2 over 7 or 2 7ths. Fractions are division.

1.) Multiple 7 by each side

2y+5=63

2.) subtract 5 from each side

2y=58

3.) divide each side by 2

y=29

4) Check your answer

2 (29) + 5=63

58+5=63

63=63

5.) y=29

2/7y + 5 = 9

Subtract 5 from both sides

2/7y = 4

Multiply both sides by 7

2y = 28

Divide both sides by 2

y = 14
