Question

Solve the equation for the given variable.
6(4y – 3) – 7 = 4(2y + 4) = 18
Help me!!

Answer 1

y = 23/16.

Explanation:

I believe that when you say "4(2y + 4) = 18)", you mean "4(2y + 4 - 18)". With that in mind...

6(4y – 3) – 7 = 4(2y + 4) - 18

24y - 18 - 7 = 8y + 16 - 18

24y - 7 - 18 = 8y + 16 - 18

24y - 7 = 8y + 16

16y = 23

y = 23 / 16.

Hope this helps!
