Question

If x equals 7 and the total is 234 what’s Y

Answer 1

We are given the following information

`x=7`

And the total is 234 which means

`x+y=234\text{ eq. 1}`

We are asked to find the value of y

Let us substitute the value of x into the eq. 1

`7+y=234`

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} -7+7+y=234-7 \\ y=227 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, y is equal to 227.
