Samuel is solving an equation for y

Question

. His first step is to add 7 to both sides. Which equation is he solving?(1 point)
Responses

2y − 7 = 15
2 y minus 7 equals 15

2y + 7 = 15
2 y plus 7 equals 15

2y − 15 = 7

Answer 1

Samuel is solving the equation \(2y - 7 = 15\).

When he adds 7 to both sides, the equation becomes:

\[2y - 7 + 7 = 15 + 7\]

This simplifies to:

\[2y = 22\]

Thus, the equation he started with is \(2y - 7 = 15\).
