solve by using inverse operations y/2+22=28

1 answer

To solve the equation y/2 + 22 = 28, let's first isolate y.

We'll start by subtracting 22 from both sides of the equation:

y/2 + 22 - 22 = 28 - 22

This simplifies to: y/2 = 6

Next, to isolate y, we'll multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

2 * (y/2) = 6 * 2

This results in: y = 12

Therefore, the solution to the equation y/2 + 22 = 28 is y = 12.
