Question

6y-(2y-5)=29 step by step

Answer 1

The given expression is

$6y-(2y-5)=29$

First, we use the distributive property to solve the parenthesis, we have to multiply the negative sign with each term inside the parenthesis.

$6y-2y+5=29$

We reduce like terms, 6y and -2y are like terms in this case,

$4y+5=29$

Then, we subtract 5 on each side.

$\begin{gathered} 4y+5-5=29-5 \\ 4y=24 \end{gathered}$

At last, we divide the equation by 4.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4y}{4}=\frac{24}{4} \\ y=6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the solution is 6.
