Question

Solve for y. 18y=126

Answer 1

The answer is y = 7. :)

Answer 2

In order to solve for y, we need to do the inverse operation (basically the opposite) of multiplication, which is division. So therefore, we divide both sides by 18 in order to get
`y = 7`.

We plug in and check.

`18 * 7 = 126`

which is correct.
