Question

What value will make the equation true? Y + 2 + 6 + Y = 86

Answer 1

Answer:

39

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to work backwards

86-2-6=78

therefore, 78 = 2y

y = 2y/2, so 78/2 = 39

Answer 2

Answer:

The value 39 will make the equation true

Step-by-step explanation:

Y + 2 + 6 + Y = 86

Y + Y + 2 + 6 = 86

2Y + 8 = 86

2Y = 86 - 8

2Y = 78

Y = 78 ÷ 2

Y = 39

Thus, The value 39 will make the equation true

FOR VERIFICATION ONLY:-

Y + 2 + 6 + Y = 86

39 + 2 + 6 + 39 = 86

86 = 86

Hence, L.H.S = R.H.S
