Question

Can someone help me with this

Answer 1

y = 6

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

17*y+2-(5*y+74)=0

Pull out like factors :

12y - 72 = 12 • (y - 6)

Solve : 12 = 0

Add 6 to both sides of the equation :

y = 6

Answer 2

y = 6

Explanation:

⇒ 17 y + 2 = 5 y + 74

→ ( - 5 y from both sides )

⇒ 12 y + 2 = 74

→ ( -2 from both sides )

⇒ 12 y = 72

( ÷ by 12 on both sides )

⇒ y = 6
