Answer

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation

The question wants usto solve for y, given that

8x = 2y - z

if x = 2 and z = 2

To solve this, we just substitute the given values for x and z into the given expression to get y.

8x = 2y - z

8(2) = 2y - 2

16 = 2y - 2

We can rewrite this and have

2y - 2 = 16

Add 2 to both sides

2y - 2 + 2 = 16 + 2

2y = 18

Divide both sides by 2

(2y/2) = (18/2)

y = 9

Hope this Helps!!!
