Substituting 35 into the equation, we get:
y + 15 = 40
35 + 15 = 40
50 = 40, which is not true.
Substituting 15 into the equation, we get:
y + 15 = 40
15 + 15 = 40
30 = 40, which is not true.
Substituting 55 into the equation, we get:
y + 15 = 40
55 + 15 = 40
70 = 40, which is not true.
Substituting 25 into the equation, we get:
y + 15 = 40
25 + 15 = 40
40 = 40, which is true.
Therefore, the number from the set {15, 25, 35, 55} that makes the equation y + 15 = 40 true is 25.
