Question

14+y = 3y+2, Find y with a step-by-step explanation.

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rearrange the terms before the equal sign: 14+y=3y+2-> y+14=3y+2

2. Subtract 14 from both sides: y+14=3y+2-> y=3y-12

                                                     -14       -14

3. Subtract 3y from both sides: y=3y-12-> y-3y= -12

                                                -3y  -3y  

4. Combine like terms: y-3y= -12-> -2y= -12

                                      1-3 keep the y

5. Divide both sides by -2: -2y= -12-> y= 6

                                              /2    /2

6. So, you're left with y= 6
