Question

8(7-y)=-24 solve for y and explain in number form

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{y = 10}}}}}`

Explanation:

`\sf{8(7 - y) = - 24}`

Distribute 8 through the parentheses

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{8 * 7 - 8 * y = - 24}}`

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{56 - 8y = - 24}}`

Move 56 to right hand side and change it's sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 8y = - 24 - 56}}`

The negative integers are always added but posses the negative ( - ) sign

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ - 8y = - 80}}`

Divide both sides by -8

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{ ( - 8y)/( - 8) = ( - 80)/( - 8) }}`

Calculate

`\longrightarrow{ \sf{y = 10}}`

Hope I helped!
