Question

Which statement is true about the solutions for the equation 4y + 6 = -2

Infinitely many solutions
Two solutions
One solution
No solution

Answer 1

One solution

Explanation:

4y + 6 = -2

Subtract 6 from both sides.

4y + 6 - 6 = -2 - 6

Do both subtractions.

4y = -8

Divide both sides by 4.

y = -2

There is one solution.

Answer 2

One solution

Explanation:

4y + 6 = -2

4y = -8

y = -2

Answer: One solution (y = -2)
