Question

-8(2y+3)-12=14y-6y+4

Answer 1

y = -
`(5)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given

- 8(2y + 3) - 12 = 14y - 6y + 4 ← distribute parenthesis on left side and simplify

- 16y - 24 - 12 = 8y + 4

- 16y - 36 = 8y + 4 ( subtract 8y from both sides )

- 24y - 36 = 4 ( add 36 to both sides )

- 24y = 40 ( divide both sides by - 24 )

y =
`(40)/(-24)` = -
`(5)/(3)`

Answer 2

-17/15

Explanation:

-16y-24-12=14y-6+4

-16y-36=14y-2

-16y+36=14y+36

-16y=14y+34

-16y=-14y+34

-30y=34

-30y/-30 = 34/-30
