Basic Math Examples

2 y - 16 - y = y - 16

$2 y - 16 - y = y - 16$

Step 1

Subtract

y

$y$ from

2 y

$2 y$ .

y - 16 = y - 16

$y - 16 = y - 16$

Step 2

Move all terms containing

y

$y$ to the left side of the equation.

Step 2.1

Subtract

y

$y$ from both sides of the equation.

y - 16 - y = - 16

$y - 16 - y = - 16$

Step 2.2

Combine the opposite terms in

y - 16 - y

$y - 16 - y$ .

Step 2.2.1

Subtract

y

$y$ from

y

$y$ .

0 - 16 = - 16

$0 - 16 = - 16$

Step 2.2.2

Subtract

16

$16$ from

0

$0$ .

- 16 = - 16

$- 16 = - 16$

- 16 = - 16

$- 16 = - 16$

- 16 = - 16

$- 16 = - 16$

Step 3

Since

- 16 = - 16

$- 16 = - 16$ , the equation will always be true for any value of

y

$y$ .
