Solve the following equation using the transposing method.$2y + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{37}{2}$.

Given :

The given expression is $2y + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{37}{2}$.

To do :

We have to solve the given expression and find the value of y.

Solution :

Transposing is a method in which a number is moved from one side of the equal sign to another side. Transposing is used in solving a linear equation, quadratic, equation, and polynomial.

$2y + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{37}{2}$.

$2y =  \frac{37}{2} -  \frac{5}{2}$

$2y = \frac{(37-5)}{2}$

$2y = \frac{32}{2}$

$2y = 16$

$Y = \frac{16}{2}$

$Y = 8$.

The value of Y is 8.
