Question

What is the solution to y-12=20

Answer 1

Answer:Simplifying

y + -12 = 20

Reorder the terms:

-12 + y = 20

Solving

-12 + y = 20

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '12' to each side of the equation.

-12 + 12 + y = 20 + 12

Combine like terms: -12 + 12 = 0

0 + y = 20 + 12

y = 20 + 12

Combine like terms: 20 + 12 = 32

y = 32

Simplifying

y = 32

Answer 2

Hey there!

y-12=20

Add 12 to both sides. (do the inverse of subtraction, which is addition)

y=32

Check answer.

32-12=20 <=== checks out :)

I hope this helps!
