You need to isolate y

anonymous · Answer

Well I'm unsure of what it's asking me..
If it's looking for y, it's y =5 2/3
If it's asking for what to remove, it's 24.

24 needs to be eliminated

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

but what you really need to do is divide both sides by 24 (that's the more accurate version)

brittany16 · Answer

if i elminat 24 then all i have is 136 y

anonymous · Answer

If you elliminate 24 it becomes y = 136. So if they say you're wrong, tell them to fix their questions.

well I assume when you "eliminate" it from the right side, you divide the left side by 24
