Answer 1

y = 6

Explanation:

2(2y -12) = 0

a. Distribute the problem out

4y - 24 = 0

b. Add 24 to both sides to seperate the constants and the terms.

4y - 24 = 0

+24 +24

4y = 24

c. Divide 4 out of both sides to isolate y

y = 6

d. Plug the 6 back into the equation to see if the answer is correct.

2(2(6) -12) = 0

2(12-12) = 0

2(0) = 0

Hope this helps!
