Question

Write the sentence as an equation.

61 is equal to 268 added to y
Type a slash ( 7 ) if you want to use a division sign

Answer 1

y= -207

Explanation:

61 = 268 + y

Collect like terms

y= 61 - 268

Simplify

= -207

y= -207

Alternatively,

61 = 268 + y

Subtract 268 from both sides

61 - 268 = 268 + y - 268

-207 = y

Therefore,

y= -207
