Question

Solve the equation. If you get stuck consider using a diagram to help you. −4(y−2)=12

y=?

Answer 1

`\sf \: y = - 1`

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of y.

The equation is,

→ -4(y - 2) = 12

Then the value of y will be,

→ -4(y - 2) = 12

→ -4(y) - 4(-2) = 12

→ -4y - (-8) = 12

→ -4y + 8 = 12

→ -4y = 12 - 8

→ -4y = 4

→ y = 4 ÷ (-4)

→ [ y = -1 ]

Hence, the value of y is -1.
