Question

4 – (2y + 5) = 3(1 – 4y) show steps please

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4−(2y+5)=3(1−4y)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−(2y+5)=3(1−4y)

4+−1(2y+5)=3(1−4y)(Distribute the Negative Sign)

4+−1(2y)+(−1)(5)=3(1−4y)

4+−2y+−5=3(1−4y)

4+−2y+−5=(3)(1)+(3)(−4y)(Distribute)

4+−2y+−5=3+−12y

(−2y)+(4+−5)=−12y+3(Combine Like Terms)

−2y+−1=−12y+3

−2y−1=−12y+3

Step 2: Add 12y to both sides.

−2y−1+12y=−12y+3+12y

10y−1=3

Step 3: Add 1 to both sides.

10y−1+1=3+1

10y=4

Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.

10y

Answer 2

Use distributive property
4 - 2y - 5 = 3 - 12y
Combine like terms
-1 - 2y = 3 - 12y
Add 1 to both side
-2y = 4 - 12y
Add 12y to both side
10y = 4
Divide by 10
Solution: y = 4/10 or 2/5
