Answer 1

Given the following equation,

`\text{ 2\lparen2y - 16\rparen = 0}`

Let's determine the value of y.

`\text{ 2\lparen2y - 16\rparen = 0}`
`\text{ }\frac{2(2y\text{ - 16\rparen}}{2}\text{ = 2}`
`\text{ 2y - 16 = 0}`
`\text{ 2y = 16}`
`\text{ }(2y)/(2)\text{ = }(16)/(2)`
`\text{ y = 8}`

Therefore, y = 8

The answer is 8.
