Question

What is the value of y circle the correct answer 62y = 434

1.
Y=7

2.
Y=5

Answer 1

The answer is

Y=7

Explanation:

Given the expression

62y = 434

To find y we have to divide both side of the equation by the coefficient of y which is 62

62y/62 = 434/62

From the left hand side 62 will cancel out leaving y standing alone

y = 434/62

On the right hand side of the equation 434/62=7

Therefore

Y=7

Answer 2

When we solve for y, we want to isolate y by itself. To do so in this equation, we can divide both sides of the equation by 62...

y = 434/62 = 7
