Answer:
y = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{1}{2} y + 22 = 38[/tex]
Subtract 22 from both sides to isolate the y variable.
[tex]\frac{1}{2} y = 16[/tex]
Divide both sides by [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], which is the same as multiplying by 2.
1/2y + 22 = 38
-22 -22
1/2y = 16
x2 x2 ---> This is because if 1/2y = 26, that means y times 1/2 is 26, but we want to know what y times 1 is because y times 1 is equal to y so we multiply by 2 because 1/2 times 2 equals 1.
