Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a variable, first you have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, you do is subtract 2 from both sides.

2y-2+2=36-2

Then, you simplify.

36-2=34

2y=34

Next, you divide 2 from both sides.

2y/2=34/2

Finally, simplify.

34/2=17

<h2>Therefore, the correct answer is y=17. </h2><h2>Hope this helps! </h2><h2>Thank you for posting your question!</h2>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+2=36

Let's solve this equation for 2y first. This means get 2y by itself.

So to get 2y by itself I need to undo that addition of 2 next to it.

The inverse operation of addition is subtraction.

I'm going to subtract 2 on both sides:

2y =36-2

2y =34

Now we want to get y by itself so we divide both sides by 2 since division and multiplication are inverse operations:

y= 34/2

y= 17

I know it is in standard form because there are no more like terms.

Part B: Polynomials are always closed under multiplication. Unlike with addition and subtraction, both the coefficients and exponents can change. The variables and coefficients will automatically fit in a polynomial. When there are exponents in a multiplication problem, they are added, so they will also fit in a polynomial.
