Question

98 - 9y + 10 (3+y) = 213
What does the varibale Y equal. Show your work please:)

Answer 1

`98 - 9y + 10 (3+y) = 213`

`98 - 9y + 10 (3+y) -98= 213-98`

`-9y+10(3+y)=115`

`y+30=115`

`y+30-30=115-30`

`y=85`

Hope this helps!

Thank you for posting your question.

Answer 2

We expand the bracket and group like terms


`98 - 9y + 10(3 + y) = 213`

`98 - 9y + 30 + 10y = 213`


`- 9y + 10y = 213 - 98 - 30`

`\therefore \: y = 85`
