Question

Solve each equation
6y-8-6-8y=4

Answer 1

Answer: = -9

Explanation:

1. subtract -8-6 which equals -14

2. Combine like terms which are -8y and 6y and you should get -2y

3. Add 14 on both sides eliminate the -14 on one side. it should be -2y = 18

4. Now you want to get y all on its own so you divide -2 on both sides -2y/2 = 18/-2

5. and you should be able to cancel out -2y and get y= -9

Answer 2

y = -9

Explanation:

Combine like terms first; 6y-8y=-2y and -8-6=-14

-2y-14=4.

Then add 14 to both sides.

-2y=18

Lastly, divide both sides by -2

y=-9
