y=39.06
y equals 39.06

y=7.66

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 23.86 = y - 16.2 \), we need to isolate \( y \).

1. Start with the equation: \[ 23.86 = y - 16.2 \]

2. Add \( 16.2 \) to both sides: \[ 23.86 + 16.2 = y \]

3. Calculate the left side: \[ 40.06 = y \]

Thus, \( y = 40.06 \).

The correct response is:

• \( y = 40.06 \)
