Question

Solve for y.



Enter your answer in the box.

y =

Answer 1

The triangle has all the angles 60 degrees so 8*y-4 = 60 so y = 8

Answer 2

ANSWER

The value of y is

`8`


Step-by-step explanation

The given triangle has all its sides equal.

This means that the measure of each

`60 \degree`


Since we are solving for y , we take the expression of the angle containing y and equate to 60°.


This implies that,


`(8y - 4) \degree = 60 \degree`


We add 4 to both sides of the equation to obtain,


`8y = 60 + 4`

This implies that,


`8y = 64`

We divide through by 8 to obtain,


`y = (64)/(8)`



This implies that,


`y = 8`
