Solve for y y/3-a=b

$\frac{y}{3} - a = b$

Add $a$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{y}{3} = b + a$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$ .

$3 \frac{y}{3} = 3 (b + a)$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \frac{y}{3} = 3 (b + a)$

Rewrite the expression.

$y = 3 (b + a)$

$y = 3 (b + a)$

$y = 3 (b + a)$

Simplify the right side.

Apply the distributive property.

$y = 3 b + 3 a$

$y = 3 b + 3 a$

$y = 3 b + 3 a$

Reorder $3 b$ and $3 a$ .

$y = 3 a + 3 b$
