Answer:

y=10

Explanation:

10 x 1.7 = 17

17 + 34 = 51

10 x 9.3 = 93

93 - 25 = 51

Same answer, so y = 10

Answer:

y=10

Explanation:

1.7y+37 is 14 less than the value of 9.3y–25

  • 1.7y + 37 = 9.3y - 25 - 14
  • 1.7y + 37 = 9.3y - 39
  • 9.3y - 1.7y = 37 + 39
  • 7.6y = 76
  • y = 76/7.6
  • y = 10

Answer is 10
