Using the method of transposition, find the value of y in the following equation:$2y-98=100$

Given :

The given equation is $2y-98=100$

To find :

We have to find the value of y.

Solution :

Therefore,

$2y-98=100$

Transposing 98 to RHS,

$2y=100+98$                 [ $-98$ when transposed to RHS becomes $+98$ ]

$2y=198$ $y=\frac{198}{2}$ 

$y=99$

The value of y is 99.
