To find the value of y, we need to simplify the expression:
Yb - 6 + 7 + 2b - 3b + 1
Combining like terms:
(Yb + 2b - 3b) + (-6 + 7 + 1)
Yb - b + 2
Now we can set this expression equal to 5b + 2 and solve for y:
Yb - b + 2 = 5b + 2
Adding b to both sides:
Yb + 2 = 6b + 2
Subtracting 2 from both sides:
Yb = 6b
Dividing both sides by b:
Y = 6
Therefore, the value of y that would make the expression equivalent to 5b + 2 is 6.
What value of y would make the expression Yb - 6 + 7 + 2b - 3b + 1 equivalent to 5b + 2?
