Question

3(y+4)-10=66-5y

Answer 1

\[3y+12-10=66-5y\]

Answer 2

You start by distributing that 3 to each of the terms in parens.

Answer 3

6y+2=66-8y?

Answer 4

3y + 2 = 66 - 8y

Answer 5

I dunno how you got an extra factor of 2 on the front there.

Answer 6

because it said 12-10

Answer 7

Right, but that doesn't affect the 3y part.

Answer 8

3(y+4) = 3y +3(4) = 3y + 12

Answer 9

you said multiply both parts by3 n i did that. then did 12-10

Answer 10

Somehow you got a 6y instead of the 3y

Answer 11

Yes, that was right. The 6y was the part that was wrong.

Answer 12

\[3y+2=66-5y\]
now add 5y and subtract 2 on both sides
\[3y+2+5y-2=66-5y+5y-2\]

Answer 13

Or do it as separate steps if you don't follow that.

Answer 14

8y=66-10?

Answer 15

8y = 66 - 2

Answer 16

8y = 64
now divide 8 on both sides
\[8y/8 = 64/8\]
