Question

2. Solve the following equation:

y + 8.7 = 14.8
y = 6.1
O y = -6.1
O y = 23.5
O y=-23.5

Answer 1

y = 6.1

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 8.7 = 14.8

[ Subtract 8.7 from both sides ]

y + 8.7 − 8.7 = 14.8 − 8.7

y = 6.1

Answer 2

The first answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms. Subtract 8.7 from both sides.

y+8.17 (-8.7)= 14.8 (-8.7)

y=6.1
