15=y+24
What does y equal?
Please show all work.
15 = y + 24
15 - 24 = y
-9 = y
check
24 - (-9) = 15
Thank you. I have one more question.
1/4 w=-13
1/4w = -13
w = -13/ 1/4
w = -52
check
1/4 (-52)
-13
Thank you.
To find the value of y in the equation 15 = y + 24, we need to solve for y.
Step 1: Begin by isolating y.
15 - 24 = y + 24 - 24
-9 = y
Step 2: Simplify the result.
y = -9
Therefore, y equals -9.
This was achieved by subtracting 24 from both sides of the equation 15 = y + 24 to isolate y, and then simplifying the equation by subtracting 24 from 15.
