Answer:
y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
We can solve for y by isolating it.
Solve for y
- 3y - 15 = y + 1
- 3y - 15 - y = y +1 - y
- 2y - 15 = 1
- 2y - 15 + 15 = 1 + 15
- 2y = 16
- y = 16/2
- y = 8
The value of y is 8.
3y ➖15 = y ➕ 1
We move all terms to the left:
3y ➖ 15 ➖ (y ➕ 1) = 0
We get rid of the parentheses.
3y ➖ y ➖ 1 ➖ 15 = 0
We add all the numbers and all the variables.
2y ➖ 16 = 0
We move all terms containing y to the left side, all other terms to the right side
