Solve: \(\frac{y + 1}{2} - \frac{2y - 1}{3}\) = 4

  • A. y = 19
  • B. y = -19
  • C. y = -29
  • D. y = 29

Correct Answer: B. y = -19

Explanation

\(\frac{y + 1}{2} - \frac{2y - 1}{3}\) = \(\frac{4}{1}\)

- \(\frac{3(y + 1) - 2(2y - 1)}{6} = \frac{4}{1}\)

3y + 3 - 4y + 2 = 24

- y + 5 = 24

- y = 24 - 5 = 19

y = - 19
