Hi there! :)

Answer:

y=50

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

First, you switch sides.


y+37=87

Then, you subtract by 37 from both sides of an equation.


y+37-37=87-37

You subtract by the numbers from left to right.


87-37=50

Final answer is y=50

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
