How do you solve #11y - 16 - 15 =2(45)#?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

#y = 11#

#11y−16−15= 2(45)#

#11y−31 = 90#

#11y = 121#

#y = 121/11#

#y = 11#

To solve the equation 11y - 16 - 15 = 2(45), you first simplify both sides of the equation. On the left side, combine like terms (-16 and -15) to get -31. Then, on the right side, simplify 2(45) to get 90. Now, the equation becomes 11y - 31 = 90. Next, add 31 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with y. This gives 11y = 121. Finally, divide both sides by 11 to solve for y, which results in y = 11.
