Answer:
In this problem, "y" represents the integer that must be found or figured for. When a number and a representation are written this way, i.e. "8y", you must mulitply them. If there is more information, you can figure for "y". If there is no other information, "y" is simplied and the end result is "8y".
And I not sure what - 1 is but it might be subtraction.
Step-by-step explanation:
move the 27 to the other side of the equation like this

use this equation and substitute it into the y value of the first equation
Answer:
the measure of AB =29 meters
Answer:
2 should be distributed as 2y + 8; y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(y + 4) = 4y
Distribute
2y + 8 = 4y
Step 2 is incorrect because the added instead of multiplied
Continuing on to correct the problem
Subtract 2y from each side
2y+8-2y = 4y-2y
8 = 2y
Divide by 2
8/2 = 2y/2
4 =y
