To solve for y we will use the INVERSE OPERATION of subtraction which is addition. Lets do it:-

y - 18 = 10
10 + 18 = y
10 + 18 = 28
y = 28

CHECK OUR WORK:-

28 - 18 = 10
We were RIGHT!!!

So, y = 28.

Hope i helped ya!!!

In this question we can see that there is one unknown variable named “y” and one equation. So it is absolutely possible to find the correct value of the unknown variable “y”. Now let us check the equation that is given and solve it correctly.
y - 18 = 10
y = 10 + 18
= 28
So the value of the unknown variable “y” is 28. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and the procedure is clear to you.
