Question

42=2+8(3+y) solve using elimination method.​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

42=2+8(3+y)

42=2+24+8y

42=26+8y

8y=42-26

8y=16

y=16/8

y=2

Answer 2

Answer:

$42 = 2 + 8 \: (3 + y)$

$42 = 2 + 24 + 8y$

$42 = 26 + 8y$

$42 - 26 = 8y$

$16 = 8y$

$\frac{16}{8} = y$

$2 = y$

Thus y = 2.
