Question

Solve for y
y - 9.2 = 8.78

Answer 1

y=17.98 (the answer should have a decimal point.)

Explanation:

Isolate the term of y from one side of the equation.

Add by 9.2 from both sides of an equation.

`\sf{y-9.2+9.2=8.78+9.2}`

Solve.

Add.

8.78+9.2=17.98

`\large\boxed{y=17.98}`

Therefore, the correct answer is y=17.98.
