Question

Solve: 5y + 4 = 3y + 20

Answer 1

Given equation:

5y + 4 = 3y + 20

$\:$

Solution:

5y + 4 = 3y + 20

5y - 3y = 20-4

2y = 16

$\sf {y = \dfrac {16}{2}}$

$\boxed {\mathfrak {\pink {y = 8}}}$

$\:$

Verification:

Substitute the value of y as 8 in the equation,

5y + 4 = 3y + 20

5×8 + 4 = 3×8 + 20

40+4 = 24+20

44 = 44

LHS = RHS

$\sf{ \dag{ \underline{ \red{Hence \: Verified!}}}}$

$\:$

Value of y:

Value of y is 8.
