Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

88

Discussion:

Order of operations has multiplication\division performed before addition\subtraction. So our equation is interpreted as

(y/8) + 19 = 30 => subtract 19 from both sides

(y/8) = 30 - 19 = 11 => multiply both sides by 8

(y/8) 8 = 8 * 11 =>

y = 88


Thank you,

MrB
