Question

What is the answer to this. 4(y - 6)= -4

Answer 1

Answer:

5 is correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

$4(y - 6) = - 4 \\ 4y - 24 = - 4 \\ 4y = 24 - 4 \\ 4y = 20 \\ y = \frac{20}{4} \\ y = 5$

hope it helped you:)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{y = 5}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\star{ \sf \: \: 4(y - 6) = - 4}$

$\text{Step \: 1 \: : \: Distribute \: 4 \: through \: the \: parentheses}$

$\longmapsto{ \sf{4 \times y - 4 \times 6 = - 4}}$

$\longmapsto{ \sf{4y - 24 = - 4}}$

$\text{Step \: 2 \: : \: Move \: 24 \: to \: right \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}$

$\longmapsto{ \sf{4y = - 4 + 24}}$

$\text{Step \: 3 \: : \: Calculate}$

$\underline{ \sf{Remember!}} : \sf{ \: The \: negative \: and \: positive \: integers \: are \: always \: subtracted \: but \: posses \: the \: sign \: of \: the \: bigger \: integer.}$

$\longmapsto{ \sf{4y = 20}}$

$\text{Step \: 4 \: : Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4}$

$\longmapsto{ \sf{ \frac{4y}{4} = \frac{20}{4} }}$

$\text{Step \: 5 \: : Calculate}$

$\longmapsto{ \sf{y = 5}}$

Hope I helped!
