12+?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's no solution:
y+12=y+12
solve for y:
y-y=12-12
no solution

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
y + 12 = y + 10 + 2
y + 12 = y + 12
y = y
this is true for any y
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
* you are both incorrect so far
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
0 = 0
is true no matter what y is equal to
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
for example
y could be 3
(3) + 12 = (3) + 10 + 2
15 = 15
or y could be -8
(-8) + 12 = (-8) + 10 + 2
4 = 4
y can be anything
