Think: What are you being asked to do here?
How have you done similar problems in the past?

Answer 3

43

Answer 4

subtract 32 from both sides

Answer 5

Yes, just want the answer and how it was done

Answer 6

Add '-32' to each side of the equation.
32 + -32 + y = 75 + -32

Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0
0 + y = 75 + -32
y = 75 + -32

Combine like terms: 75 + -32 = 43
y = 43

Answer 7

32 + y = 75 -- subtract 32 from both sides
32 - 32 + y = 75 - 32 -- combine like terms
y = 75 - 32
y = 43

Answer 8

Thanks for the thorough information.

Answer 9

I prefer texaschic's approach: Isolate y by subtracting 32 from both sides. The answer is important, but it's much more important that y ou know how to find it.
