Question

Solve for the given variable.
a. 4y + 3 = 19

b. 1
2n - 3 = 5

Answer 1

a) y = 4

b) n = 4

Explanation:

a) 4y + 3 = 19

Subtract 3 from both sides.

4y = 16

Divide both sides by 4.

y = 4

b) Is the 1 apart of the equation? If not, these are the steps to find n.

2n - 3 = 5

Add 3 to both sides.

2n = 8

Divide both sides by 2.

n = 4

Answer 2

y=4

Explanation:

4y+3=19

=4y=19-3

=y=16/4=4
