Question

What is the answer to this. 4(y - 6)= -4

Answer 1

`\huge{ \fbox{ \sf{y = 5}}}`

Explanation:

`\star{ \sf \: \: 4(y - 6) = - 4}`

`\text{Step \: 1 \: : \: Distribute \: 4 \: through \: the \: parentheses}`

`\longmapsto{ \sf{4 * y - 4 * 6 = - 4}}`

`\longmapsto{ \sf{4y - 24 = - 4}}`

`\text{Step \: 2 \: : \: Move \: 24 \: to \: right \: hand \: side \: and \: change \: its \: sign}`

`\longmapsto{ \sf{4y = - 4 + 24}}`

`\text{Step \: 3 \: : \: Calculate}`

`\longmapsto{ \sf{4y = 20}}`

`\text{Step \: 4 \: : Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 4}`

`\longmapsto{ \sf{ (4y)/(4) = (20)/(4) }}`

`\text{Step \: 5 \: : Calculate}`

`\longmapsto{ \sf{y = 5}}`

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D

Answer 2

5 is correct answer

Explanation:

`4(y - 6) = - 4 \\ 4y - 24 = - 4 \\ 4y = 24 - 4 \\ 4y = 20 \\ y = (20)/(4) \\ y = 5`

hope it helped you:)
