Solve. 5y + 42 − y = 34

The answer is y= -2

Step-by-step explanation:

(Arrange according to the like terms first)

5y-y+42= 34

4y+ 42-34= 0

4y+ 8= 0

4y= -8

∴ y= -8/4=-2

So, y= -2

Hope it will help.

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

question : 5y + 42 − y = 34

⇒ 5y + 42 − y = 34

•shifting the +42 to the right side :
