Question

How to write Two times the sum of y and 5 is 24
Then solve

Answer 1

The equation is: 2(y+5)=24

Solved answer: y=7

You’d first have to distribute the 2 into the parenthesis.

Then you’d have to isolate the 2y by moving the 10 on the other side of the equal sign.

Finally, divide by 2 on both sides to get rid of the 2y, making it just y.

Hope this helps!
