Question #a0967

Answer 1

I found the value 13.

Explanation:

74=5y+9
74-9 =5y
5y=74-9
5y = 65
y= 65/5

y=13#

Answer 2

`y = 13`

Explanation:

Your goal here is to isolate `y` on one side of the equation. The first thing you need to do is subtract `9` from boh sides of the equation

`74 - 9 = 5y + color(red)(cancel(color(black)(9))) - color(green)(cancel(color(black)(9)))`

`65 = 5y`

Now divide both sides of the equation to get `y` alone on the right-hand side

`65/5 = (color(red)(cancel(color(black)(5)))y)/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(5)))`

`13 = y`

And there you have it, `y` is equal to `13`.
