Question

Please help :)

23=y+6, what does y equal?

Somehow I got 17, but I'm pretty sure that's not correct. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks to the people that help me!

Answer 1

it is correct

Answer 2

y=17. You are correct. ^^

Answer 3

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
23=y+6
Step 1: Flip the equation.
y+6=23
Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides.
y+6−6=23−6
y=17
Answer:
y=17

Answer 4

You're correct :-)
23=y+6
to isolate the y you would simply subtract 6 from both sides
23-6=y+6 -6
and you get:
y=17

Answer 5

Here's how to check


23=y+6

23=17+6 ... replace every copy of 'y' with '17'

23 = 23 ... Combine like terms on the right side. The equation is true


since the last equation is true, this means the first equation is true when y = 17. So the answer is confirmed.
