Solve: y/7 + 8 = 22

1 answer

To solve the equation \( \frac{y}{7} + 8 = 22 \), follow these steps:

  1. Subtract 8 from both sides: \[ \frac{y}{7} + 8 - 8 = 22 - 8 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{y}{7} = 14 \]

  2. Multiply both sides by 7 to eliminate the fraction: \[ y = 14 \times 7 \] Calculating the right side gives: \[ y = 98 \]

So, the solution is: \[ \boxed{98} \]
