solve for y

Question

y/2-11=5

Answer 1

To solve for y, let's isolate the variable y by performing some algebraic operations.

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to eliminate the fraction:

2 * (y/2 - 11) = 2 * 5

This simplifies to:

y - 22 = 10

Next, we can add 22 to both sides of the equation to isolate y:

y - 22 + 22 = 10 + 22

This simplifies to:

y = 32

Therefore, the solution to the equation is y = 32.
