Question

If y - 18 = 14, then what is the value of 3(y + 5) ?

Answer 1

Answer: y = 980.333

Explanation:

y-18=14

add 18 to each side

y = 32

Substitute 32 for y in 3(y+5)

3(32 + 5)

3(37)

111

So 3(y+5) = 111

Find the value of the variable y:

y-18=14 Add 18 on both sides:

y = 32

= 3y+15

3y+15 = 2,956

3y+15 = 2956

3y = 2941

y = 980.333
