To solve the equation \( 67 - (34 + y) + 56 = 73 \), follow these steps:
Simplify the left side of the equation: \[ 67 + 56 - (34 + y) = 73 \] Calculate \( 67 + 56 \): \[ 123 - (34 + y) = 73 \]
Distribute the negative sign: \[ 123 - 34 - y = 73 \] Simplify \( 123 - 34 \): \[ 89 - y = 73 \]
Isolate \( y \): \[ -y = 73 - 89 \] \[ -y = -16 \] \[ y = 16 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation is \( y = 16 \).
