Question

Help me solve this problem:

2y(6 - 1)2 = -200

In other words it is 2y times 6 - 1 by exponent 2 = -200

Answer 1

Solve: 2y(6 - 1)^2 = - 200

Simplify both sides of equation:

50y = - 200

Divide both sides by 50

50y/50 = - 200/50

y = - 4

Answer: y = - 4

Hope that helps!!!! (Answer: y = - 4)

Answer 2

So firstly, solve the parentheses, then combine it with the exponent. Your equation will look like this:
`2y*25=-200` .

Next, divide both sides by 25, and your equation should be
`2y=-8`

Lastly, divide by 2, and your answer should be
`y=-4`
