Subtract 5 from both sides

Answer 1

Let's complete the process of solving the equation step by step.

Starting with the equation: \[ 2(y + 5) = 14 \]

1. Divide both sides by 2. \[ y + 5 = 7 \]

2. Subtract 5 from both sides. \[ y + 5 - 5 = 7 - 5 \] \[ y = 2 \]

So the completed equation and the value of \(y\) is:

\(y = 2\)

The filled in missing term and description would be:

1. Fill in the missing term: "Divide both sides by 2"
2. Select the missing description: "Subtract 5 from both sides"

Final results:

• \( y = 2 \)
• Steps taken: "Divide both sides by 2" followed by "Subtract 5 from both sides"
