Question

I need help please

`18+2y=34\\-18 -18\\__0______\\`
I need help with the rest

Answer 1

y = 8

Explanation:

18 + 2y = 34 Subtract 18 from both sides

18 - 18 + 2y = 34 - 18

2y = 16 Divide both sides by 2

`(2y)/(2)` =
`(16)/(2)`

y = 8

Check:

18 + 2y = 34

18 + 2(8) = 34

18 + 16 = 34

34 = 34
