Question

What is the value of y in the equation 4(y-6) = - 4 ? REMEMBER TO DISTRIBUTE! *

Answer 1

y=5

Explanation:

4(y-6)=-4

4 x y 4 x 6

4y - 24 = -4

4y +24 = -4 +24

4y = 20

4y/4 = 20/4

y=5

Answer 2

y = 5

Explanation:

4 (y - 6) = -4

×4 ×4 Distribute 4 with y and 6

4y - 24 = -4

+24 +24 Add 24 to both sides of the equation

4y = 20

÷4 ÷4 Divide each side by 4

y = 5
