57 = 5y - 13

simplify this answer

1 answer

To simplify the equation \( 57 = 5y - 13 \), we can solve for \( y \).

  1. Start by isolating the \( 5y \) term. Add 13 to both sides of the equation:

\[ 57 + 13 = 5y \]

\[ 70 = 5y \]

  1. Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( y \):

\[ y = \frac{70}{5} \]

\[ y = 14 \]

So, the simplified answer is \( y = 14 \).
