Question

3y - 8 = 16 - 5y
$3y - 8 = 16 - 5y$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$3y + 5y = 16 + 8 \\ 8y = 24 \\ y = 24 \div 8 \\ y = 3$

Answer 2

$3y - 8 = 16 - 5y \\ \\ = > 3y + 5y = 16 + 8 \\ \\ = > 8y = 24 \\ \\ = > y = \frac{ \cancel{{24}}^{ \: \: 3} }{ \cancel{8}^{ \: 1} } \\ \\ = > \green{\boxed{y = 3}}$

Since, we get the value as y = 3.
