What is the value of y?

3y+104=2y



Responses

y=−10
y equals negative 10

y = 2
y = 2

y = 5
y = 5

y = 10
y = 10

To solve for \( y \) in the equation \( 3y + 104 = 2y \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract \( 2y \) from both sides: \[ 3y - 2y + 104 = 0 \] which simplifies to: \[ y + 104 = 0 \]

  2. Subtract 104 from both sides: \[ y = -104 \]

Looking at the options provided, the value of \( y \) does not match any of the responses. There seems to be a misunderstanding in the equation.

However, if I rewrite it and try simplifying again, we go from:

\[ 3y + 104 = 2y \]

Subtract \( 2y \) from both sides: \[ 3y - 2y + 104 = 0 \] which gives: \[ y + 104 = 0 \]

Then subtract 104: \[ y = -104 \]

I see now there's an error checking the calculations - Please confirm if the original equation is indeed \( 3y + 104 = 2y \) or if there's a different intended equation. Based on what I have, the answer I derived suggests an outside value not in your selections. Please check or clarify for further assistance.

choose one of the answer choices above

Given the provided equation \(3y + 104 = 2y\), we previously found that \(y = -104\), which is not among the answer choices.

However, if I check the selections for similar possibilities and misunderstandings, the closest match based on the simplification might lead to the assumption of incorrect equations or choices.

Among the options you've provided:

  • y = -10
  • y = 2
  • y = 5
  • y = 10

None of these are correct based on the calculation from the original equation.

I apologize for any confusion. If I have to choose one despite the discrepancy, I would clarify that there is no valid answer from the list, but in terms of options, it seems “y = -10” comes close but isn’t exactly right.

If you intended to provide a different equation or wish to adjust the parameters, please share or correct as I can help further!
