Question

What is the value of y in the equation 2(3y + 7 + 5) = 196 − 16? (1 point) Group of answer choices 13 14 26 28

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

2(3y+12)=180

3y+12=90

3y=78

y=26

Answer 2

Option c) is correct.

The value of y in the given equation is 26 ie., y=26

Explanation:

Given equation is

`2(3y+7+5)=196-16`

Now to the find the value of y in the above equation.

To find y simplify the above equation

`2(3y+7+5)=196-16`

`2(3y+12)=180`

Now apply distributive property

`6y+24=180`

`6y=180-24`

`=(156)/(6)`

Therefore y=26

Option c) is correct.

The value of y in the given equation is 26 ie., y=26
