Question

If 2y – 3 = y +2, then y = ?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=5

Step-by-step explanation:

• 2y-3=y+2
• 2y-3-y=2
• 2y-y=2+3
• y=2+3

y=5

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of y is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the data given in the question,

We have to find the value of y,

The given equation,

$2y - 3 = y +2$

Now, add both sides by $3$:

=> $2y - 3+3 = y +2+3$

Simplifying it further,

=> $2y = y +2+3$

Add the numbers,

=> $2y = y +5$

Subtract both sides by $y$,

=> $2y -y= y+ 5-y$

=> y = 5

Hence, the required solution will be 5.
