Question

Solve for y:- y + 8 = 35 Thank you!

Answer 1

To solve for y we need to use the inverse operation of addition which is subtraction. Lets do it:-

y + 8 = 35
y = ?
35 - 8 = ?
35 - 8 = 27
y = 27

CHECK OUR WORK:-
 
y + 8 = 35
y = 27
27 + 8 = ?
27 + 8 = 35
We were RIGHT!!!!

So, y = 27.

Hope I helped ya!! xD

Answer 2

Y + 8 = 35
    
Subtract 8 from both sides because its the inverse operation. 

$y + 8 = 35$
$y = 35 - 8$
$y = 27$

$Answer: y = 27$
