Question

Solve. y7+8=22 (1 point) Responses y=98 y is equal to 98 y=2 y is equal to 2 y=7 y is equal to 7 y=30

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( y7 + 8 = 22 \), we first need to interpret what \( y7 \) means. If it means \( 7y \), then we proceed as follows:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
7y + 8 = 22
\]

2. Subtract 8 from both sides:
\[
7y = 22 - 8
\]
\[
7y = 14
\]

3. Divide both sides by 7:
\[
y = \frac{14}{7}
\]
\[
y = 2
\]

So, the correct answer is \( y = 2 \) (or "y is equal to 2").
