Expressions and equations

Equations are expressions separated by an equal sign.

Given the following expression:

  • 1/3a + yb - 2/3b + 1/3a =  2/3a + 2b

We are to find the value of b. Making comparison on both sides, we will have:

yb - 2/3b  = 2b

b(y - 2/3) = 2b

y - 2/3 = 2

y = 2 + 2/3

y = 8/3

y = 2 2/3

Hence the value of y as a mixed number is  2 2/3
