16x0 + 2x2 • y - 1

Answer the (the x0 and x2 are powers).

If the 0 and 2 are powers it would be 16^0=1, 2^2=4

Now we have 1+4*y-1.

Im not sure if you want parenthesis to make it 1+4 (y-1) or not.

Solving for the first one it would simplify to 4y.

With the parenthesis it would be 4y-3.

Thats it simplified, if it is equal to something you would solve for y.
