Answer: The required value of y is 20.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of y such that
"six less than 2 times y is 34".
Six less than 2 times y is written as (2y - 6).
According to the given information, we have
[tex]2y-6=34\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=34+6\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=40\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{40}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y=20.[/tex]
Thus, the required value of y is 20.
