Question

Solve the equation.

$48+5y=96-3y$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The solution is $y=6$.

Step 1- Consider the equation.

Consider the equation $48+5y=96-3y$.

Step 2- Step description.

Simplify the equation as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}48+5y=96-3y\\ 5y+3y=96-48\end{array}$

Step 3- Step description.

Simplify the equation as follows:

$\begin{array}{l}5y+3y=96-48\\ 8y=48\end{array}$

Divide both sides of the equation by 8.

$\begin{array}{l}8y=48\\ y=\frac{48}{8}\\ y=6\end{array}$

Therefore, the solution is $y=6$.
