Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. \\(\frac{y}{11} + 16 = 18\\) \\(\frac{y}{11} = 2\\) \\(y = \square\\) multiply both sides by 11

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the first missing description

To get from \(\frac{y}{11}+16 = 18\) to \(\frac{y}{11}=2\), we subtract 16 from both sides. So the missing description is "Subtract 16 from both sides".

Step2: Solve for \(y\)

We know that \(\frac{y}{11}=2\) and we multiply both sides by 11. So \(y = 2\times11=22\).

Answer:

First missing description: Subtract 16 from both sides; \(y = 22\)
