Question

y−82=−12y-82=-12y−82=−12

y=y=y=

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( y - 82 = -12 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 82 to both sides of the equation to isolate \( y \): \[ y - 82 + 82 = -12 + 82 \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 70 \]

So, the solution is \( y = 70 \).

Answer 3

To solve the equation \( 2(x - 1) = 9 \), follow these steps:

1. Distribute the 2 on the left side: \[ 2x - 2 = 9 \]

2. Add 2 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 2x - 2 + 2 = 9 + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 11 \]

3. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{11}{2} \]

Therefore, the solution is: \[ x = \frac{11}{2} \]
