Beejal is solving the equation y/7 − 3 = 39 .(1 point)

As a first step, he starts by adding
to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by
on each side.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The equation is y/7 - 3 = 39.

To add 3 to both sides of the equation, Beejal gets:

y/7 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
y/7 = 42

Then, to multiply by 7 on each side of the equation, Beejal gets:

7 * (y/7) = 7 * 42
y = 294

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 294.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the equation y/7 - 3 = 39, the first step is to add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable "y". This will eliminate the constant term on the left side of the equation.

Step 1: Add 3 to both sides:
y/7 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3
y/7 = 42

The equation now becomes y/7 = 42.

The next step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to eliminate the fraction and solve for "y".

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 7:
7 * (y/7) = 42 * 7
y = 294

By multiplying both sides of the equation by 7, we get the solution y = 294.

To solve the equation 10z - 6 = 24 for z, we need to isolate z on one side of the equation.

Step 1: Add 6 to both sides:
10z - 6 + 6 = 24 + 6
10z = 30

Step 2: Divide both sides by 10:
(10z)/10 = 30/10
z = 3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is z = 3.

Answer 9

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve the equation y/7 - 3 = 39, Beejal follows the correct steps of adding and then multiplying by a certain value on both sides. However, the specific values he adds and multiplies by are missing from the question.

To solve this equation step-by-step, let's start with the given equation:

y/7 - 3 = 39

The first step Beejal mentioned is adding to both sides of the equation. Let's assume he adds the value 'a' to both sides:

y/7 - 3 + a = 39 + a

This step helps to isolate the term y/7 on one side of the equation. Now, the equation becomes:

y/7 + a = 39 + a

Next, Beejal explains that he multiplies both sides by a certain value, let's say 'b'. Multiplying by 'b' allows us to eliminate the fraction and solve for y:

b * (y/7 + a) = b * (39 + a)

By distributing the multiplication on the left side and right side of the equation, we get:

by/7 + ba = 39b + ab

Now we have an equation without any fractions. From here, we can continue solving for y by isolating the y term.
