Answer:

no, 6 is the correct answer bud

Explanation:

Simplifying

2(2y + -12) = 0

Reorder the terms:

2(-12 + 2y) = 0

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

(-24 + 4y) = 0

Solving

-24 + 4y = 0

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '24' to each side of the equation.

-24 + 24 + 4y = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: -24 + 24 = 0

0 + 4y = 0 + 24

4y = 0 + 24

Combine like terms: 0 + 24 = 24

4y = 24

Divide each side by '4'.

y = 6

Simplifying

y = 6
