Find the value of y in the equation 3/y-2=8

y = 3 / 10, or 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides by (y - 2).  

3 = 8(y - 2) [Distribute and solve.]  

3 = 8y - 16  

19 = 8y  

y = 19 / 8 = 2 3/8 = 2.375

then y = 3 / 10, or 0.3

hope this helps:)sorry if it doesnt

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
