Solve y+27/2+7/2

$$y + \frac { 27 } { 2 } + \frac { 7 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$y+17$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{27}{2} and \frac{7}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$y+\frac{27+7}{2}$$

Add 27 and 7 to get 34.

$$y+\frac{34}{2}$$

Divide 34 by 2 to get 17.

$$y+17$$

Factor

$$y+17$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{2}.

$$\frac{2y+34}{2}$$

Consider 2y+27+7. Multiply and combine like terms.

$$2y+34$$

Consider 2y+34. Factor out 2.

$$2\left(y+17\right)$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$y+17$$
