Question

My fellow mate’s can you help me find 5y-2=18

Answer 1

Hey there!☺

`Answer:\boxed{y=4}`

`Explanation:`

`5y-2=18`

Start by adding 2 to both sides:

`5y-2+2=18+2\\5y=20`

Now divide both sides by 5:

`(5y)/(5)=(20)/(5)`

To get the final answer, simplify 20/5:

`(20)/(5)=4\\ y=4`

y=4 is your answer.

Hope this helps!☺

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

5y - 2 = 18

adding 2 to both sides

5y -2 + 2 = 18 + 2

5y = 20

Dividing 5 in both sides,

5y / 5 = 20/5

y = 4
