Answer:
y = -24
Explanation:
Solve for y:
y/8 + 38 = 35
Put each term in y/8 + 38 over the common denominator 8: y/8 + 38 = y/8 + 304/8:
(y/8 + 304/8) = 35
y/8 + 304/8 = (y + 304)/8:
((y + 304)/8) = 35
Multiply both sides of (y + 304)/8 = 35 by 8:
(8 (y + 304))/8 = 8×35
(8 (y + 304))/8 = 8/8×(y + 304) = y + 304:
y + 304 = 8×35
8×35 = 280:
y + 304 = 280
Subtract 304 from both sides:
y + (304 - 304) = 280 - 304
304 - 304 = 0:
y = 280 - 304
280 - 304 = -24:
Answer: y = -24
