2y+3=31

To solve the equation \(2y + 3 = 31\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation: \[ 2y + 3 - 3 = 31 - 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2y = 28 \]

2. Next, divide both sides by 2: \[ \frac{2y}{2} = \frac{28}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ y = 14 \]

So, the solution to the equation \(2y + 3 = 31\) is \(y = 14\).
