Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 4(y + 1) = 2y + 16

2 - 4y - 4 = 2y + 16

2 - 4 = 6y + 16

- 2 = 6y + 16

- 18 = 6y

-3 = y

Answer:

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Do the multiplication:

2 - 4(y + 1) = 2y + 16 → 2 - 4y - 4 = 2y + 16

Combine like terms on the left side, obtaining:

-4y - 2 = 2y + 16

Combine the y terms: -2 = 6y + 16

Add 2 to both sides simplify this equation further:

0 = 6y + 18

Then y = -3

Solve with work shown. X/3+6 equals -6

8090 [49]

We start out with x/3+6=-6. Subtract 6 from both sides, and you get x/3=-12. Multiply the equation by three and you get x=-36. x=-36 should be your final answer.

Answer:

Solution 1: 1+1 $\sqrt{3}$

Solution 2: 1- $1\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-2=2x

x^2-2x-2=0

Use quadratic equation.

(-b+- $\sqrt{b^2-4ac}$ )/2a

(2+- $\sqrt{(-2)^2-4*1*-2}$ )/2

(2+- $\sqrt{(4+8})$ )/2

(2+- $\sqrt{12}$ )/2

Solution 1: (2+2 $\sqrt{3}$ )/2=1+1 $\sqrt{3}$

Solution 2: 1- $1\sqrt{3}$
