Question

What is the solution to 4(y - 3) +19=8(2y + 3) + 7?

Answer 1

The value of y in the equation is - 2

To solve : 4(y - 3) +19=8(2y + 3) + 7?

• Open the bracket :

4y - 12 + 19 = 16y + 24 + 7

• Collect like terms

4y - 16y = 24 + 7 + 12 - 19

-12y = 24

• Divide both sides by - 12 to isolate y

-12y / - 12 = 24 / - 12

y = - 2

Hence, the value of y is - 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$4(y - 3) + 19 = 8(2y + 3) + 7 \\ 4y - 12 + 19 = 16y + 24 + 7 \\4y + 7 = 16y + 31 \\ 16y - 4y = 7 - 31 \\ 12y = ( - 24) \\ y = \frac{(- 24)}{12} \\ \boxed{y = - 2 }$

• y = -2 is the right answer.
