Question

42 = y + 15 whats y? y == __

Answer 1

`y=27`

Explanation:

Subtract
`15` from both sides of the equation:

`42=y+15`

`42`
`-15=y+15`
`-15`

Simplify:

• Subtract the numbers:

`42-15=y+15-15`

`27=y+15-15`

• Subtract the numbers:

`27=y+15`
`-15`

`27=y`

• Move the variable to the left:

`27=y`

`y=27`

`y=27`

Answer 2

y=27 because 42-15 is 27
