Chapter 4.3, Problem 16PPS

To determine

To calculate:To solve the equation, then check your solution and graph it on number line

Answer to Problem 16PPS

On solving equation, $y=58$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $y+14=72$

Calculation:

Equation is given as

$y+14=72$

On solving above equation,

> $\begin{array}{l}y=72-14\\ y=58\end{array}$

In order to check the solution, substitute $r=5$ in the given equation

$\begin{array}{l}LHS:58+14\\ LHS:72\end{array}$

Now, LHS = RHS

Hence, $y=58$ is solution of the equation $y+14=72$

Graphing $y=58$ on number line,
