Answer 2

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 8 through the parentheses

8y - 8 - 3y = 6(2y - 6)

Then, distribute 6 through the parentheses

8y - 8 - 3y = 12y - 36

Collect like terms (8y - 3y)

5y - 8 = 12y - 36

Move the variable (12y) to the left hand side and change its sign

5y - 12y - 8 = -36

Move the constant (-8) to the right hand side and change its sign

5y - 12y = -36 + 8

Collect like terms

-7y = -36 + 8

Calculate the sum

-7y = -28

Divide both sides of the equation by -7

y = 4
