Q. Select all of the equations below that are equivalent to:\newline8=y158 = y - 15\newlineUse properties of equality.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 8+8=y58 + 8 = y - 5\newline(B) 8+12=y38 + 12 = y - 3\newline(C) 8+10=y58 + 10 = y - 5\newline(D) 8+10=y38 + 10 = y - 3
  1. Simplify equation: Simplify the original equation to isolate yy. Add 1515 to both sides of 8=y158 = y - 15 to get yy by itself. 8+15=y8 + 15 = y y=23y = 23
  2. Isolate y: Check each choice to see if substituting y=23y = 23 makes the equation true.\newline(A) 8+8=y58 + 8 = y - 5\newline16=23516 = 23 - 5\newline16=1816 = 18
