To determine

To find: The solution of given equation.

Answer to Problem 28CLR

The solution of given equation is $y=\frac{5}{2}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation is $\frac{1}{3}y-2=\frac{1}{2}$ .

Calculation:

Consider the equation.

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{3}y-2=\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{6}{3}y-2\cdot 6=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6\\ 2y-12=3\\ 2y=15\\ y=\frac{5}{2}\end{array}$
