Q. Here is one way to solve the equation 95y2=5. Explain what is done in each step.\begin{array}{ll}\(\newline\frac{5}{9}y^{2}=5 & \text{ Original equation } (\newline\)5y^{2}=45 & \text{ Step 1 } (\newline\)y^{2}=9 & \text{ Step 2 } (\newline\)y=3 \text{ or } y=-3 & \text{ Step 3 }\end{array}\)Original equationStep 1Step 2Step 3
Original Equation: Original equation: (95)y2=5. We start with the given equation.
Multiply by 9: Step 1: Multiply both sides by 9 to eliminate the fraction.(95)y2×9=5×95y2=45This step clears the fraction by multiplying both sides by 9.
Divide by 5: Step 2: Divide both sides by 5 to solve for y2.55y2=545y2=9We divide by 5 to isolate y2.
Take Square Root: Step 3: Take the square root of both sides to solve for y.y2=9y=3 or y=−3Taking the square root gives us the possible values of y.
