Given:
y/2 + 5 = 13
Determine the value of y
Solution:
In order to find the value of y, we simply need to solve for y. The first step is to multiply 2 on both sides of the equation in order to cancel y/2.
2(y/2 + 5) = 2(13)
y + 10 = 26
Transpose 10 on the other side of the equation. Note that when transposing a number the sign changes.
y = 26 -10
y = 16
Final answer:
y = 16
