Chapter 4.3, Problem 14PPS

To determine

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

Answer to Problem 14PPS

On solving equation, $y=2$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:Equation is $-14=y-16$

Calculation:

Equation is given as

$-14=y-16$

On solving above equation,

> $\begin{array}{l}y-16=-14\\ y=-14+16\\ y=2\end{array}$

In order to check the solution, substitute $y=2$ in the given equation

$\begin{array}{l}RHS:2-16\\ RHS:-14\end{array}$

Now, LHS = RHS

Hence, $y=2$ is solution of the equation $-14=y-16$

Graphing $y=2$ on number line,
