Question

Uniteasy Admin · Accepted Answer

$$26 = 3\sqrt{2y} + 8$$
Isolate term with radical on one side
$$26-8 = 3\sqrt{2y}  $$
Subtract 8 from 26
$$24 = 3\sqrt{2y} $$
Divide both sides by $$3$$
$$6 = \sqrt{2y} $$
Square to raise both sides to the index of the radical
$$36 = 2y$$
Divide both sides by $$2$$
$$y = 18$$
