The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{3y}{2x - y} - 2 = 5x\) for \(y\) in terms of \(x\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Isolate the fraction Start by adding \(2\) to both sides of the equation to isolate the fraction: \[ \frac{3y}{2x - y} = 5x + 2 \] **Hint:** To isolate a term, you can add or subtract the same value from both sides of the equation. ### Step 2: Eliminate the fraction Multiply both sides of the equation by \(2x - y\) to eliminate the fraction: \[ 3y = (5x + 2)(2x - y) \] **Hint:** When multiplying both sides by a term that includes a variable, ensure that the term does not equal zero. ### Step 3: Expand the right side Now, expand the right side of the equation: \[ 3y = (5x)(2x) + (5x)(-y) + (2)(2x) + (2)(-y) \] \[ 3y = 10x^2 - 5xy + 4x - 2y \] **Hint:** Use the distributive property to expand expressions. ### Step 4: Move all terms involving \(y\) to one side Rearrange the equation to get all terms involving \(y\) on one side: \[ 3y + 5xy + 2y = 10x^2 + 4x \] \[ (3y + 2y + 5xy) = 10x^2 + 4x \] \[ (5y + 5xy) = 10x^2 + 4x \] **Hint:** You can combine like terms to simplify your equation. ### Step 5: Factor out \(y\) Factor \(y\) out from the left side: \[ y(5 + 5x) = 10x^2 + 4x \] **Hint:** Factoring can simplify the equation and make it easier to isolate the variable. ### Step 6: Solve for \(y\) Now, divide both sides by \(5 + 5x\) to solve for \(y\): \[ y = \frac{10x^2 + 4x}{5 + 5x} \] **Hint:** To isolate a variable, you can divide both sides by the coefficient of that variable. ### Final Expression Thus, the expression for \(y\) in terms of \(x\) is: \[ y = \frac{10x^2 + 4x}{5 + 5x} \]
