Use the inverse operation to solve for x.

10 + y = 28


10 + y = 28


y = 28 - 10

Answer:
y = 18

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

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

CHECK OUR WORK:-

10 + y = 28
y = 18
10 + 18 = ?
10 + 18 = 28
We were RIGHT!!!!

So, y = 18.

Hope I helped ya!! xD
