Question

8y-3 = 16-(1-2y) solve the equation

Answer 1

y = 3

Explanation:

`8y - 3 = 16 - (1 - 2y)`

➡️
`8y - 3 = 16 - 1 + 2y`

➡️
`8y - 3 = 15 + 2y`

➡️
`8y - 2y = 15 + 3`

➡️
`6y = 18`

➡️
`y = 3` ✅

Answer 2

y = 3

Explanation:

8y - 3 = 16 - (1 -2y)

8y - 3 = 16 - 1 + 2y {Subtract 2y from both sides}

8y - 2y - 3 = 16 - 1

6y -3 = 15 {Add 3 to both side}

6y = 15 + 3

6y = 18 {Divide both sides by 6}

y = 18/6

y = 3
