Beejal is solving the equation y/2 - 3 = 39 (1 point)

Question

As a first step, he starts by adding [__] to both sides of the equation, and then continues by multiplying by [__] on each side.

Answer 1

Beejal starts by adding 3 to both sides of the equation, resulting in:

y/2 - 3 + 3 = 39 + 3

This simplifies to:

y/2 = 42

Next, Beejal multiplies both sides of the equation by 2, resulting in:

2 * (y/2) = 2 * 42

This simplifies to:

y = 84

So the value of y that satisfies the equation is 84.
