Question

Solve the equation. Type the value of the variable in the answer box below. (Note: repeating decimals should be entered into the answer box as improper fractions.)

88=10+30−4

Answer 1

Answer: y = 9⅓

Explanation:

The equation given here is

88 = 10y + 30 - 4y

The first thing to do is to collect terms

88 - 30 = 10y - 4y.

58 = 6y

Divide both side by 6

6y = 58

6y/6 = 58/6

y = 9 ⅓

Therefore, the value of y is 9⅓.
