Question

Solve for y, 54-y=174

Answer 1

Hello!

You will solve this like an algebraic equation.

54 - y = 174

Subtract 54 from both sides

- y = 120

Since y is negative you can multiply both sides by -1 to make y positive

y = -120

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

y = -120

Explanation:

54 - y = 174

=> -y = 174 - 54

=> -y = 120

=> y = -120
