Solve: \(\frac{y + 1}{2} - \frac{2y - 1}{3}\) = 4
A
y = 19
B
y = -19
C
y = -29
D
y = 29
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
\(\frac{y + 1}{2} - \frac{2y - 1}{3}\) = \(\frac{4}{1}\)
- \(\frac{3(y + 1) - 2(2y - 1)}{6} = \frac{4}{1}\)
3y + 3 - 4y + 2 = 24
- y + 5 = 24
- y = 24 - 5 = 19
y = - 19
