18+y=b

5 answers

The equation 18+y=b can be rearranged to y=b-18.
Solve for y.
18+y=b
To solve for y, we can subtract 18 from both sides of the equation:
18 + y - 18 = b - 18
y = b - 18
Multiply.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by -1, we get:

-1(y) = -1(b - 18)

Simplifying, we have:

-y = -b + 18

Dividing through by -1, we find:

y = b - 18
