Solution:-
By transposing (5/2) from LHS to RHS it becomes -5/2
Then,
= 2y = (37/2) – (5/2)
= 2y = (37-5)/2
= 2y = 32/2
Now,
Divide both side by 2,
= 2y/2 = (32/2)/2
= y = (32/2) × (1/2)
= y = 32/4
= y = 8
(b) 5t + 28 = 10
Solution:-

= m = – 2
(i) (3/2) l = 2/3
Solution:-
First we have to multiply both the side by 2,
= (3l/2) × 2 = (2/3) × 2
= 3l = (4/3)
Now,
We have to divide both the side by 3,
Then we get,
= 3l/3 = (4/3)/3
= l = (4/3) × (1/3)
= x = (4/9)
(j) (2b/3) – 5 = 3
Solution:-
By transposing -5 from LHS to RHS it becomes 5
Then,
= 2b/3 = 3 + 5
= 2b/3 = 8
