2(y-4)+5=3(y+2)
multiply the first bracket by 2
(2)(y)=2y
(2)(-4)=-8
multiply the second bracket by 3
(3)(y)=3y
(3)(2)=6
2y-8+5=3y+6
2y-3=3y+6
move 3y to the other side
sign changes from +3y to -3y
2y-3y-3=3y-3y+6
-y-3=6
move -3 to the other side
-y-3+3=6+3
-y=9
multiply both sides by -1 to get +y
(-1)(-y)=9(-1)
Answer:
y=-9
Answer:
y = -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand:
2y − 8 + 5 = 3y + 6
Simplify 2y-8+5 to 2y-3:
2y − 3 = 3y + 6
Subtract 2y from both sides:
−3 = 3y + 6 − 2y
Simplify 3y + 6 - 2y to y + 6:
−3 = y + 6
Subtract 6 from both sides:
−3 − 6 = y
Simplify -3 - 6 to -9:
y = −9
