Question

If 2x + 3y = 194 and x = 28, what is the value of y?

Answer 1

y = 46

Explanation:

We want to find the value of y

2x+3y = 194

We are given the value of x

x=28

Substitute the value of x into the first equation

2(28)+3y = 194

56 + 3y = 194

Subtract 56 from each side

56+3y -56 = 194 -56

3y = 138

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = 138/3

y =46

Answer 2

46

Explanation:

For the value of y, substitute x = 28 into the equation.

2x + 3y = 194

2(28) + 3(y) = 194

56 + 3y = 194

3y = 194 - 56

3y = 138

dividing bothsides by 3

y = 46
