Question

Solve the equation and check your solution -(3y+2) -(-2y-4)=0

Answer 1

y=2

Explanation:

-(3y+2) -(-2y-4)=0

Distribute the minus signs

-3y -2 +2y +4 = 0

Combine like terms

-y +2 = 0

Add y to each side

-y+y +2 = 0+y

2=y

Check

-(3*2+2) -( -2*2-4) =0

-(6+2) -(-4-4)=0

-8 - (-8) =0

-8+8 =0

0=0
