Question

Solve: 4(y + 2) = y + 10

y= __

Answer 1

4y+8 =y + 10
4y-y = 10-8
3y=2
y= 2/3

Answer 2

Hello !

Answer:

`\large \boxed{ \sf y = (2)/(3) }`

Explanation:

We're looking for the value of y that satisfies the following equation :

`\sf4(y + 2) = y + 10`

First, we will expand the left side.

`\sf4y + 8 = y + 10`

Now let's substract y from both sides :

`\sf4y + 8 - y = y + 10 - y \\ \sf3y + 8 = 10`

Substract 8 from both sides :

`\sf3y + 8 - 8 = 10 - 8 \\ \sf3y = 2`

Finally, let's divide both sides by 3 :

`\sf (3y)/(3) = (2)/(3)`

`\boxed{ \sf y = (2)/(3) }`

Have a nice day ;)
