To solve the equation \( y + 8 = 22 \), we start by isolating \( y \):
1. Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
y + 8 - 8 = 22 - 8
\]
2. This simplifies to:
\[
y = 14
\]
However, the equation provided is written as \( y7 + 8 = 22 \), which suggests it's possibly misinterpreted. If it means \(7y + 8 = 22\), we solve it like this:
1. Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
7y + 8 - 8 = 22 - 8
\]
2. This simplifies to:
\[
7y = 14
\]
3. Divide both sides by 7:
\[
y = 2
\]
Thus, the solution to the equation \( 7y + 8 = 22 \) is:
**y = 2**
So the correct response is: **y = 2** or **y is equal to 2**.
