Question

What is 4(-2) - 2y =8?

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember PEMDAS (Parentheses/Exponents/Multiplication/Division/Adding/Subtracting)

Multiply 4 and -2= -8

-8-2y=8

Now do inverse operations

to get rid of the -8 you add it to the other side = -2y=16

Then to get rid of the -2 you divide it out to get the y by it self to get y=-8

Answer 2

Answer:

y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1) distribute 4(-2)

-8-2y=8

Step 2) add 8 to both sides

-2y=16

Step 3) divide both sides by -2

y=-8
