Answer 2

Answer:

y=27

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

42 = y + 15

Reorder the terms:

42 = 15 + y

Solving

42 = 15 + y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.

42 + -1y = 15 + y + -1y

Combine like terms: y + -1y = 0

42 + -1y = 15 + 0

42 + -1y = 15

Add '-42' to each side of the equation.

42 + -42 + -1y = 15 + -42

Combine like terms: 42 + -42 = 0

0 + -1y = 15 + -42

-1y = 15 + -42

Combine like terms: 15 + -42 = -27

-1y = -27

Divide each side by '-1'.

y = 27

Simplifying

y = 27
