Question

Simplify and solve for the unknown. Use order of operations as needed.
8×2+5^2-y=2(y+1)+6 ​

Answer 1

y = 11

Explanation:

8 × 2 + 5²- y = 2(y + 1) + 6 ​

8 × 2 + 5²- y = 2y + 2 + 6 ​

8 × 2 + 25 - y = 2y + 2 + 6 ​

16 + 25 - y = 2y + 2 + 6

41 - y = 2y + 8

41 (- y + y) = (2y + y) + 8

41 = 3y + 8

41 - 8 = 3y (+ 8 - 8)

33 = 3y

33/3 = 3y/3

y = 11
