Given that, 5 less than the quotient of a number y and 2, when equated to zero, the value of y is 10.
What is the value of y?
Given that, 5 less than the quotient of a number y and 2.
The quotient of a number y and 2 is expressed as ( y/2 ).
Hence;
( y/2 ) - 5
To find the value of y, we equate the expression to zero
( y/2 ) - 5 = 0
y/2 = 5
Multiply both sides by 2
2( y/2 ) = 5 × 2
2y/2 = 10
y = 10
