Solve for y

Question

y/5 - 34 = -22

Answer 1

To solve for y, we need to isolate the y variable on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by adding 34 to both sides of the equation:

y/5 - 34 + 34 = -22 + 34

This simplifies to:

y/5 = 12

To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

5 * (y/5) = 5 * 12

This simplifies to:

y = 60

Therefore, the solution is y = 60.
