kidrah69 · Answer

yes! :) 
what is 14+10=?
196-16=?

anonymous · Answer

14 + 10 is 24 and 196 - 16 is 180

kidrah69 · Answer

6y+40=180
and we are trying to find the value of Y right?

anonymous · Answer

yes, so i would subtract by 24 on both sides right?

kidrah69 · Answer

lol you noticed my typo! wow thats amazing :0 yes you are correct :) 
180-24=?

anonymous · Answer

so Y = 26!!

anonymous · Answer

2 (3 y + 7 + 5) = 196 - 16
          24 + 6 y = 196 - 16
                   6 y = 196 - 16 - 24
                   6 y = 156
                      y = 26
