Question

Solve for y. y – (–19) = 25 a. –44 b. –6 c. 6 d. 44

Answer 1

Y - (-19) = 25

First, simplify your brackets. / Your problem should look like: $y + 19 = 25$
Second, subtract 19 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: $y = 25 - 19$
Third, subtract 25 - 19 to get 6. / Your problem should look like: $y = 6$

Answer: C) y = 6
