Question

1)What value for y makes the equation 2(y-4)+8=12+y true?

A. -6
B. 12
C. 6
D. 8


2)Which number below does not satisfy the given inequality: -4x - 6 > -14?
A. -4
B. -2
C. 0
D. 2

Answer 1

1. Option B- y=12

2. Option D - 2

Explanation:

1. 2(y - 4) + 8 = 12 + y

2y - 8 + 8 = 12 + y

add like terms -8 + 8 is 0 so

2y = 12 + y

Subtract y

1y = 12

Divide by 1

y= 12

2. -4(2) - 6 > -14

-8 - 6 > -14

-14 > -14

This is not true because -14 is not greater than -14, they are equal.

Hope this helps.
