Question

8(y+4)-2(y-1)=70-3y
solve for y

Answer 1

y = 4

Explanation:

8(y + 4) - 2(y - 1) = 70 - 3y ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

8y + 32 - 2y + 2 = 70 - 3y

6y + 34 = 70 - 3y ( add 3y to both sides )

9y + 34 = 70 ( subtract 34 from both sides )

9y = 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = 4
