Can anyone help me for this first degree floor function equation?
Find $y$ such that
$$\lfloor y \rfloor + \lfloor 3y \rfloor = 5$$
First, I use the properties that $$n \leq y <n+1$$ And suppose
$$\lfloor y\rfloor = 5-n$$
and
$$\lfloor 3y\rfloor = n$$
But I’m stuck, could anyone help me?
Hint: write y as $n+d$ .Now the first term turns out to be n and for second term take cases for $0
