1/2y + 22 = 38

-22 -22

1/2y = 16

x2 x2 ---> This is because if 1/2y = 26, that means y times 1/2 is 26, but we want to know what y times 1 is because y times 1 is equal to y so we multiply by 2 because 1/2 times 2 equals 1.

y = 32

Answer:

y = 32

Explanation:


(1)/(2) y + 22 = 38

Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the y variable.


(1)/(2) y = 16

Divide both sides by
(1)/(2), which is the same as multiplying by 2.

y = 32
