Question

P= 2(x+y)

Algebra. (Solve for y)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{P}{2} - x = y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation: P = 2(x + y),

Divide both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction from the right-hand side of the equation:

P = 2(x + y)

$\frac{P}{2} = \frac{2(x + y)}{2}$

$\frac{P}{2} = x + y$

Then, subtract x from both sides to solve for y:

$\frac{P}{2} - x = x + y - x$

$\frac{P}{2} - x = y$
