Solve the following equation:

Explanation:

(1) Given equation is,

x - 2 = 7

⇒ x – 2 + 2 = 7 + 2, adding 2 with both sides

⇒ x + 0 = 9

⇒ x = 9

(2) Given equation is,

y + 3 = 10

⇒ y + 3 – 3 = 10, subtracting 3 from both sides

⇒ y + 0 = 7

⇒ y = 7

Final Answer:

Solution of the equations are:

(1) x = 9

(2) y = 7
