Let's solve your equation step-by-step.8(y+4)=10y+4

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.8(y+4)=10y+4

Simplify: (−8)(y)+(−8)(4)=10y+4(Distribute)8y+−32=10y+48y−32=10y+4

Step 2: Subtract 10y from both sides.8y−3210y=10y+410y18y−32=4

Step 3: Add 32 to both sides.18y−32+32=4+3218y=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by -18.18y−18=36−18y=−2

Answer:y=2

Good luck mate :P

-8y-32 = 10y+4 Subract 10y on both sides.
-8y-10-32 = 4 Add 32 on both sides.
-18y = 4+32
-18y = 36 Divide 18 on both sides.
-18/y = 36/-18
y = -2
