Help solve these equations:

1) \( 3y + 1 = 16 \)

2) \( 18 = 4k + 6 \)

Asked by sandra6282

Answer (3)

3y+1=16 Subtract 1 from both sides (3y+1)-1=(16)-1 3y=15 Divide both sides by 3 (3y)/3=(15)/3 Y=5
18=4k+6 Subtract 6 from both sides (18)-6=(4k+6)-6 12=4k Divide both sides by 4 (12)/4=(4k)/4 3=k
Final answer:

y=5
k=3

The solution for the first equation is y = 5 , and for the second equation, k = 3 . By isolating the variables through subtraction and division, we successfully found the values for y and k .
