One step equations

Identify the variable

y-8+41

Determine the mathematical function being done to the variable

y-8=41

8 is being subtracted from the variable

Do the inverse/opposite function to get the variable by itself

y-8=41

+8 +8

to both sides of the equal sign

The inverse function cancels out what's being done to the variable, leaving the variable by itself

y=49
