Question

16 – (3 – 4y) = 2(y + 2)

Answer 1

`y = -4(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

`16-(3-4y) = 2(y+2)`

Distribute.

`16 - 3 + 4y = 2y + 4`

Combine like terms.

`13 + 4y = 2y + 4`

Subtract
`2y` from both sides.

`13 + 2y = 4`

Subtract 13 from both sides.

`2y = -9`

Divide both sides by 2.

`y = -4(1)/(2)`

I hope this helps!
