Question

Y -52 4 + 52 = 0 What is the solution to the system of equations?

Answer 1

`Y=472`

Explanation:

`Y-524+52=0`

`\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:-524+52=-472`

`Y-472=0`

`\mathrm{Add\:}472\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}`

`Y-472+472=0+472`

`\mathrm{Simplify}`

`Y=472`

Answer 2

y = 156

Explanation:

Solve for y:

y - 52 4 + 52 = 0

Multiply -52 and 4 together.

-52×4 = -208:

y + -208 + 52 = 0

Group like terms in y - 208 + 52.

Grouping like terms, y - 208 + 52 = y + (-208 + 52):

y + (-208 + 52) = 0

Evaluate 52 - 208.

52 - 208 = -156:

y + -156 = 0

Isolate terms with y to the left-hand side.

Add 156 to both sides:

y + (156 - 156) = 156

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

156 - 156 = 0:

Answer: y = 156
