Question

The value of $y$ in $14y-8=13$ is

• A. $\frac{5}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{3}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)$

Given equation $14y-8=13$
$\Rightarrow 14y-8+8=13+8$ [Adding $8$ on both sides]
$\Rightarrow 14y=21$
$\Rightarrow \frac{14y}{14}=\frac{21}{14}$ [Dividing both sides by $14$]
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{(7\times 3)}{(7\times 2)}$
$\Rightarrow y=\frac{3}{2}$
