3y - 2 = 13 solve for y

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3y - 2 = 13

We are solving for y, so we want to isolate it.

Add 2 to both sides.

3y = 15

Continue isolating y by dividing both sides by 3.

y = 5

Check your answer by plugging it back into the original equation.

3y - 2 = 13

3(5) - 2 = 13

Multiply.

15 - 2 = 13

Subtract.

13 = 13

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Get y by itself:

3y - 2 = 13

     +2    +2

3y = 15

Divide by 3:

3y = 13

÷ 3    ÷ 3

y = 5

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

because its not ur topic and its not for is for homework not that.
