Question

17-2y=35 : Solve the given equation.

Answer 1

-2y=35-17

-2y= 18

y= 18/-2

y= -9

Answer 2

Given, 17-2y=35.

Transposing 17 to RHS:

-2y=35-17.
-2y=18.

Transposing 2 to RHS:

-y=18/2.
-y=9.

Transposing - symbol to RHS:

y=-9.

CHECKING BY SUBSTITUTING y WITH IT'S VALUE -9:

17-2(-9)=35.
17+18=35.
35=35.

So, y=-9 is the solution of the equation 17-2y=35.
