Do I simplify 27/13

Question

So it was 6(y-9) /5=-4y

Answer 1

6(y-9) / 5 = 4y

6(y-9) = 20y

6y - 54 = 20y

-54 = 14y

-54/14 = y

-27/7 = y

CHECK:

Left side is:

6( -27/7 - 9)/5 =

6 ( -27/7 - 63/7)/5 =

6 ( - 90/7)/5 =

-540/35 =

-108/7

Right Side:

4(-27/7) = -108/7

The correct answer is y=-27/7 = -3 and 6/7 and it checks.

You must ask your teacher how the answer is to

be written.

Answer 2

y = 27/13 is correct; unless you are asked for a decimal answer for some reason, this is a perfectly acceptable answer.
