31=2y-5

Add 5 on both -5+5 which cancels out and 31+5 which is 36 and then divide 36 by 2 which equals to 18.

So y=18 hope this helped (':


Hey!

[tex]31=2y-5[/tex]

First, this problem should be switch sides.

[tex]2y-5=31[/tex]

Secondly, add 5 from both sides of equation.

[tex]2y-5+5=31+5[/tex]

Then, simplify

[tex]2y=36[/tex]

In fact, you had to divide 2 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{36}{2}[/tex]

Finally, simplify

[tex]y=18[/tex]

And the answer is [tex]y=18[/tex]

I hope this helped!

Thank you for posting your question.
