I am supposed to solve y + y/2 = 1 I multiplied both sides by 2 and i got: y + y = 2 And then when I solved for y I got the wrong answer. The answer is y= = 2/3 When they multiplied both sides by 2, they also multiplied the other y with 2. I don't understand why they multiplied the y with 2 instead of the 2 just cancelling out. Please explain why, thank you
So you add 1+1 you get 2 then see how many times 2 goes into 2 which is 1 so y should equal 1
