34) In the expression 76123y-5y=1, what is the value of y?

Explanation

STEP ONE. Cross-multiply to get rid of the unwieldy fraction. 
STEP TWO. Set common denominators of 3y for the left side of the equation and subtract, leaving you with <sup>-3</sup><sub>3y</sub>, or <sup>-1</sup><sub>y</sub>. 
STEP THREE. Cross-multiply again to isolate y. 
STEP FOUR. Divide both sides of the equal sign by 7.
Answer 1 is the correct choice.
