Question

Solve the equation step by step and find the y value: 1/3(2y+6)=y+4

Answer 1

y = -6

Explanation:

We are given;

1/3(2y+6)=y+4

We are required to solve for the value of X

First, we open the brackets;

(2/3)y + 2 = y + 4

Combining the like terms

(2/3)y - y = 4-2

Solving for y

(-1/3)y = 2

-y = 6

y = -6

Hence, the value of y is -6
