Answer:
Simplifying
3y + 13 = 2y + 25
Reorder the terms:
13 + 3y = 2y + 25
Reorder the terms:
13 + 3y = 25 + 2y
Solving
13 + 3y = 25 + 2y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
13 + 3y + -2y = 25 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: 3y + -2y = 1y
13 + 1y = 25 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
13 + 1y = 25 + 0
13 + 1y = 25
Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + 1y = 25 + -13
Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + 1y = 25 + -13
1y = 25 + -13
Combine like terms: 25 + -13 = 12
1y = 12
Divide each side by '1'.
y = 12
Simplifying
y = 12
