Question

2 (y-4) -5(y+8) = 0

its multi step equation and i still can't figure out how to do this​

Answer 1

y=-16

Explanation:

2(y-4)-5(y+8)=0 (distribute the 2 and the negative 5)

2y-8-5y-40=0 (combine like terms)

-3y-48=0 (add 48 to both sides)

-3y=48 (divide both sides by -3)

y=-16

Hope this helps :)
