Question

Solve for y.

-2+2(6y+7)=9y
y=

Answer 1

y=-4

Explanation:

Distribute:

−2+12+14=9

Add the Numbers:

12+12=9

Rearange the Terms:

12+12=9

Subtract 12 from both sides:

12+12−12=9−12

12=9−12

Subtract 9y from both sides:

12−9=9−12−9

3=−12

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term:

3y/3=12/3

Answer:

=−4

Answer 2

Y=-4
-2+12y+14=9y
12+12=9y
12y=9y-11
3y=-12
Y=-4
