Question

I have this problem for hw and it’s due tomorrow. can someone please help me? (it’s y-4 not 4-4)

Answer 1

All real numbers

Explanation:

`-2(y - 4) = 20 - 2y - 12`

Start by distributing -2 inside the parentheses.

`-2y + 8 = 20 - 2y - 12`

Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

`-2y + 8 = 8 - 2y`

Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

`-2y =- 2y`

Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y.

`0=0`

This is a true statement, so there are infinite solutions.
