Question

I need help on this question I don’t get what it’s asking what so ever

Answer 1

Explanation:

The question is asking you to find the value of y in a square.

A square has same length in all sides so we can achieve that:

y+8 is equal to 3y

simplifying that, we find out the answer is 4. How?

We have previously acheived that:

y+8=3*y

So we need to find y using these steps:

1. Subtract 3y from both sides:

y+8−3y=3y−3y

−2y+8=0

2. Divide both sides by -2:

y=4

Answer 2

y=4

Explanation:

The question is asking what is the value of y:

Since all lengths have a dash on them they are all equal :

So 3y = y+8

3y = y + 8

First we subtract y from both sides:

3y-y = y+8-y

2y = 8

Divide both sides by 2:

2y÷2 = 8÷2

y = 4
