Question

What is the value of y in the equation 2(2y - 12) = 0?
04
06
07
08

Answer 1

y=6 (06) should be your answer

Explanation:

4y-24=0

After you simply the first equation in the parenthesis, you then move the 24 to the 0,

4y=24

The answer becomes positive 24 because when you move things across the equal sign you switch the sign

y=6

Then divide 24 by 4 to isolate y, which then gives you the answer 6.

Answer 2

Hey there!

2(2y - 12) = 0
2(2y) + 2(-12) = 0

4y - 24 = 0

ADD 24 to BOTH SIDES

4y - 24 + 24 = 0 + 24

SIMPLIFY IT!

4y = 0 + 24

4y = 24

4y/4 = 24/4

SIMPLIFY IT!

y = 24/4

y = 6

Therefore, your answer should be:

y = 06 (Option B.)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
