Question

Solve for y: 5 left parenthesis 3 y plus 4 right parenthesis equals 6 open parentheses 2 y minus 2 over 3 close parentheses The solution is Y = _______

Answer 1

-8

Explanation:

We have the following equation:

`5\cdot\mleft(3y+4\mright)=6\cdot\mleft(2y-(2)/(3)\mright)`

Solving for y:

`\begin{gathered} 15y+20=12y-4 \\ 15y-12y=-4-20 \\ 3y=-24 \\ y=-(24)/(3) \\ y=-8 \end{gathered}`

The solution of y is equal to -8
