Question

What is the value of the expression below when y = 2 and 8y - 2​

Answer 1

14

Step-by-step explanation:

If y = 2, we can substitute y in the expression for 2

8y - 2 = (8 * 2) - 2

8*2 = 16

16-2 = 14

Answer 2

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Replace y with 2. Then use the order of operations PEMDAS to simplify until getting a single number.

8y-2

8*2-2

16 - 2

14

Therefore, 8y-2 = 14 when y = 2

Phrased another way: The solution to 8y-2 = 14 is y = 2
