y=40.06
y equals 40.06

y=39.06
y equals 39.06

y=25.48
y equals 25.48

y=7.66

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 23.86 = y - 16.2 \), we can isolate \( y \) by adding \( 16.2 \) to both sides of the equation:

\[ y = 23.86 + 16.2 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ y = 40.06 \]

Thus, the solution is:

y equals 40.06.
