Question

8y-8(y-1)=6-(16y-4)-10

Answer 1

The answer is y = -1/2.

Explanation:

Given:

8y-8(y-1)=6-(16y-4)-10

Now, to evaluate the equation:

`8y-8(y-1)=6-(16y-4)-10`

⇒
`8y-8y+8=6-16y+4-10`

When negative digits get multiplied the results are always positive.

Now, to get the variables in one side and the numbers on the other.

`8y-8y+16y=6+4-10-8`

⇒
`16y=6+4-10-8`

⇒
`16y=10-10-8`

⇒
`16y=10-18`

⇒
`16y=-8`

Dividing both sides by 16 we get:

`y=(-1)/(2)`

Therefore, the answer is y = -1/2.
