Hi kumar. Where are you having issues?

OpenStudy (waleed_imtiaz):

just solve for y ..... simple...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to know what the value of y is.

Parth (parthkohli):

How do you find it difficult?

OpenStudy (waleed_imtiaz):

y=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parthkoli I don't find it difficult but isn't there a certain method to do this.

Parth (parthkohli):

There actually is. 1) Add 18 to both sides. 2) Divide both sides by 16.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks Parthkohli!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You just want to get "y" by itself.

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes.^ It's known as 'isolation of a variable'.
