Answer:
y = 6
Explanation:
1) You need to use like terms with the 2y and the 4y. You will add them together to get 6y.
Your equation should look like this now: 6y +8 = 44
2) You subtract the 8 from each side and that cancels the 8 out of the left side and makes the right size equal 36.
Your equation should look like this now: 6y = 36
3) Then you need to get the 6 off of the y so you divide both sides by 6.
Your should now have: y = 6
