Question

Solve for y -36=8y+4(y-6)

Answer 1

Answer: y= -1

Explanation:

1) Distribute the 4 to the y and the -6 to get 4y-24, so our new equation is -36= 8y+4y-24.

2) Add like terms 8y and 4y to get 12y. Our new equation is -36=12y-24.

3) Remove the constant -24 by adding 24 to both sides to get -12=12y.

4) Remove the coefficient 12 by dividing 12 on both sides to get y= -1

Answer 2

-36=8y+4y(y-6)
-36=8y+4y-24
12y-24=-36
12y=-36+24
12y=-12
Divide it then,
Y=-1
