Question

If x = 1, what is the value of y given 2x + 2y = 18?

Answer 1

y=8

Explanation:

1. If x is equal to 1, 2x is just 2.

2. We can subtract the 2 we already have. 18-2=16

3. 2y=16, divide by 2 on both sides.

y=8

Answer 2

y=8

Explanation:

2(1)+2y=18

2+2y=18

minus 2 from both sides

2y=16

divide by 2 from both sides

y=8
