The answer is 47. Just keep adding 4.
<span>6( 5-8x) +12= -54
30-48x+12=-54 this comes from distributing(multiplying) 6x5 and 6 times -8x
30+12-48x=-54 you have to add the coefficients 30+12
42-48x=-54
-42 -42
-----------------------
-48x=-96 divide by -48
x=2</span>
1) subtract 2y in both sides: (7y-2y)-6=(2y-2y)+8 which is 5y-6=8
2) Add 6 to both sides: 5y(-6+6)=8+6 which is 5y=14
3) Divide 5 on both sides: 5y/5=14/5 which is y=14/5 or y=2.8 or y=2 4/5
