Q5 of 51 Page 2

Solve each of the following equations and also verify your solution:

13(y - 4) - 3(y - 9) - 5(y + 4) = 0

13y - 52 - 3y + 27 - 5y - 20 = 0

5y = 45

y = 9


Check:

13(y - 4) - 3(y - 9) - 5(y + 4) = 0

13(9 - 4) - 3(9 - 9) - 5(9 + 4)

13(5) - 0 - 5(13) 

= 0

We got LHS = RHS

Hence, verified.
