Question

1/8(5y+64)=1/4(20+2y)

Answer 1

-24

Explanation:

1/8(5y+64)=1/4(20+2y)

Multiplying both sides of the equation...

1/8(5y)+1/8(64)=1/4(20)+1/4(2y)

1/8(5y)+(64/8)=(20/4)+(2y/4)

1/8(5y)+8=5+y/2

1/8(5y)+8=5+1/2(y)

Now multiplying through by the least common multiple, which is 8

8×1/8(5y)+8×8=8×5+8×1/2(y)

1×1(5y)+64=40+4×1(y)

Simplifying both sides...

5y+64=40+4(y)

5y+64=40+4y

By grouping like terms...

5y-4y=40-64

1(y)= -24

y= -24
