Question

34=3(y+6)-8 Please Explain.

Answer 1

y = 8

Explanation:

Add 8 to both sides.

42=3(y+6)

Divide 3 from both sides.

14=y+6

Subtract 6 from both sides.

8 = y

Answer 2

y =8

Explanation:

34=3(y+6)-8

Add 8 to each side

34+8=3(y+6)-8+8

42 =3(y+6)

Divide by 3

42/3 = 3(y+6)/3

14 = y+6

Subtract 6 from each side

14-6 = y+6-6

8 = y
