Question

Find the value of y with 2y - 5x = 12; x = 16

Answer 1

Answer: y=46

Explanation:

Input the x value and use pemdas.

2y-5x=12

2y-5(16)=12 Input x value

2y-80=12 Solve

2y=92 Isolate the y

2y/2=92/2 Divide for y

y=46 final answer

Answer 2

Answer: Y = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

We're given the scenario:
`2y-5x=12` and we let x = 16.

1. Since x = 16 we can do -5(16) which equals -80. Making the problem look like this.
   `2y-80=12`
2. Now we can add -80 on both sides in order to keep 2y by itself. After completing this process we are left with this equation.
   `2y=92`
3. Lastly we would divide 92/2 to get y by itself. We are left with
   `y=46`

Check:

We can check our answer by plugging in what x and y is being 16 and 46 respectively.
`2(46)-5(16)=12` and since 12=12, our answer is true.
