Answer:

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$-2(3y - 6) + 4(5y - 8) = 92\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}-2\left(3y-6\right)+4\left(5y-8\right):\quad 14y-20\\14y-20=92\\\\\mathrm{Add\:}20\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\14y-20+20=92+20\\\\Simplify\\14y=112\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}14\\\frac{14y}{14}=\frac{112}{14}\\\\Simplify\\y= 8$

kirill115 [55]

Multiply entire equation by (x-2)(x+1) to get rid of the denominators That would lead to X(x+1)+(x-1)(x-2)=-1(x-2)(x+1)
Finally, using distributive property and foil, you would get x^2+x+x^2-3x+2=(-x^2+x+2).2x^2-2x+2=-x^2+x+23x^2-3x=0
3x(x-1)x=0 and x=1
