\

The equation is 104 = y \"\" 67.

\

According to Addition property of equality: if a = b, then a + c = b + c.

\

104 + 67 = y \"\" 67 + 67             (Add 67 to each sides)

\

  y = 104 + 67                               (Additive inverse property: \"\" 67 + 67 = 0)

\

  y = 171                                       (Add: 104 + 67 = 171)

\

Check:

\

To check the solution, substitute  y = 171 in original equation.

\

 104 = y \"\" 67\"\"104 = 171 \"\" 67

\

  104 104                                 (Subtract: 171 \"\" 67 = 104)

\

Compare the values, the equation is true. The solution is  y = 171.

\

The value of y = 171.
