solve 6y + 8y =17 + 81

Answer 1

y=7

Explanation:

Add 17 and 81 which is 98

then add 6y and 8y because they are also like terms which is 14y

now you have 14y = 98

then divide by 14 on both sides to get y by itself

then you will need to do 98/14 which is 7

answer is y=7

Answer 2

y= 7

Explanation:

6y + 8y =17 + 81

Combine like terms

14y = 98

Divide by 14

14y/14 = 98/14

y =7
