Question

What are the solving steps for 8y+11=4(y-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8y + 11 = 4(y - 2)

8y + 11 = 4y -8

subtract 4y from both sides

4y + 11 = - 8

subtract 11 from both sides

4y = -11

divide by 4 on both sides

y = -2.75 or - y = 2.75

if you need a fraction it would be 2 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

y=

−19

4

Step-by-step explanation:

8y+11=4(y-2)

One solution was found :

                  y = -19/4 = -4.750

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    8*y+11-(4*(y-2))=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 (8y + 11) -  4 • (y - 2)  = 0

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 4y + 19  = 0

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

3.1      Solve  :    4y+19 = 0

Subtract  19  from both sides of the equation :

                     4y = -19

Divide both sides of the equation by 4:

                    y = -19/4 = -4.750

One solution was found :

                  y = -19/4 = -4.750
