anonymous · Answer

Are you trying to find y?

anonymous · Answer

If you're trying to find y,
y = 136 / 24

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure, the question is just wanting to know what number needs to be eliminated to solve the problem.

anonymous · Answer

I don't think it's trying to find y, but thank you anyway! I just need to know which number needs to be eliminated.

anonymous · Answer

Divide both sides by 1/24. This will let the 24 cancel out on the right side. leaving you with 136/24 = y

You may need to simplify that, but doubt it since it only asked for the number to be eliminated.

anonymous · Answer

24, cancel out and eliminate same thing.
