Question

Solve the following equation for y

x= y – 20

Answer 1

Answer: Y= x+20

Step-by-step explanation: x = y-20, you must first add 20 to both sides to get Y on its own. So x+20 = y - 20 + 20, the twenties cancel each other out giving us x+20 = y or y=x+20

Answer 2

y = x + 20

Explanation:

Isolate the variable you are solving for, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Add 20 to both sides

x (+20) = y - 20 (+20)

y = x + 20

y = x + 20 is your answer
