Solve for y 24^2+y^2=625

Problem

24^2+y^2=625

Solution

1. Calculate the square of 24.

24^2=576

2. Substitute the value back into the equation.

576+y^2=625

3. Isolate the y^2 term by subtracting 576 from both sides of the equation.

y^2=625−576

4. Simplify the subtraction on the right side.

y^2=49

5. Solve for y by taking the square root of both sides, remembering to include both the positive and negative roots.

y=±√(,49)

y=±7

Final Answer

y=±7
