Solve the equation 23.86=y−16.2 .(1 point) Responses y=39.06 y equals 39.06 y=25.48 y equals 25.48 y=7.66 y equals 7.66 y=40.06

1 answer

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

\[ y = 23.86 + 16.2 \]

Now, let's perform the addition:

\[ y = 23.86 + 16.2 = 40.06 \]

Therefore, the solution is:

\[ \boxed{y = 40.06} \]
