Hello there.
6(8 - 2y) = 4y
To solve for this, we need to apply the Distributive Property to the left side of the equation. This property allows us to multiply the number outside of the parenthesis by all numbers inside of the parenthesis.
6(8 - 2y)
6(8) + 6(-2y)
48 - 12y
Now, let’s take a look at our equation.
-12y + 48 = 4y
To make things more simple, we’ll add 12y to both sides of the equation. This will cancel out -12y on the left side of the equation and will turn 4y on the right side of the equation into 16y.
Our new equation is:
16y = 48
Now all we need to do is divide both sides by 16 to solve for y.
16y / 16 = y
48 / 16 = 3
Our final answer and solution is:
Y = 3
I hope this helps!
B don’t quote me if I’m wrong
