Question

Helpp i dont know the answer

Answer 1

y = -8

y = -4

Explanation:

The equation |6 + y| = 2 can only be true when 6 + y = -2 and 6 + y = 2. This is because:

|-2| = 2

and

|2| = 2

First, lets find for what y values the equation 6 + y = -2 is true. Solve for y:

6 + y = -2

Subtract 6 from both sides.

y = -8

So now we have one of the values of y.

To find the second value of y, we must solve for y in the equation 6 + y = 2:

6 + y = 2

Subtract 6 from both sides.

y = -4

So the two values of y are -8 and -4.

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying.

Answer 2

1. y = -4
2. y = -8

Explanation:

For the first possible answer (y = -4):

1. Simplify: 6 + y = 2
2. Subtract 6 from each side, so it now looks like this: y = -4

I don't know how to explain the second one, I'm sorry!
