Question

If 3(y+12)=24 find the value of 1/8y

Answer 1

-1/2

Explanation:

3(y + 12) = 24

3y + 36 = 24

3y = 24 - 36

3y = -12

y = -12/3

y = -4

Value of 1/8 × y

1/8 × (-4)

-4/8

-1/2

Answer 2

-1/2

Explanation:

3(y + 12) = 24

~Simplify left side

3y + 36 = 24

~Subtract 36 to both sides

3y = -12

~Divide 3 to both sides

y = -4

~Now substitute in 1/8y

1/8(-4)

= -1/2

Best of Luck!
