  y = 4 is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the solution using the properties of equality.

  6 + 3y = 4y + 2 . . . . . given

  4 + 3y = 4y . . . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides

  4 = y . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3y from both sides

The solution of this equation is y=4.

When the solution value of y is put in place of y in the equation, it becomes a true numerical statement.

  6 + 3×4 = 4×4 +2

Evaluating the expressions on each side of the equal sign, we get ...

  18 = 18 . . . . a true statement

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
