Question

8y-3=15+2y

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 8y - 3 = 15 + 2y \), follow these steps:

1. First, let's get all the terms involving \( y \) on one side and constants on the other side. Subtract \( 2y \) from both sides:

\[
8y - 2y - 3 = 15
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
6y - 3 = 15
\]

2. Next, add 3 to both sides to isolate the term with \( y \):

\[
6y = 15 + 3
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
6y = 18
\]

3. Finally, divide both sides by 6 to solve for \( y \):

\[
y = \frac{18}{6}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
y = 3
\]

The solution is \( y = 3 \).
