Question

P= 2(x+y)

Algebra. (Solve for y)

Answer 1

`(P)/(2) - x = y`

Explanation:

Given the equation: P = 2(x + y),

Divide both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction from the right-hand side of the equation:

P = 2(x + y)

`(P)/(2) = (2(x + y))/(2)`

`(P)/(2) = x + y`

Then, subtract x from both sides to solve for y:

`(P)/(2) - x = x + y - x`

`(P)/(2) - x = y`
