Question

Help?

Which of the following is the solution to the equation 8(y – 2) = 2y ?

y = 1

y = 3

y = –3

y = –1

Answer 1

Distribute, separate and then solve.

Answer 2

so far I got,

8yx16x2y

Answer 3

How did you get that?

Answer 4

by doing 8 times y and 8 times 2

Answer 5

hey @dreamer05 its 8y-16=2y
so,6y=16
y=8/3

Answer 6

how did you get 8/3?

Answer 7

@quantun No giving away answers or doing others work for them

Answer 8

@dreamer05 since 6y=16
y=16/6.Divide by 2 both in numerator and denominator you will get 8/3

Answer 9

but there is no option for that, unless it can be reduced? right.

Answer 10

i think you should check your question once again..:P

Answer 11

?

Answer 12

@dreamer05 you're right

Answer 13

yeah, i mean unless its -1 but I know that isn't right.. I am a little bit confused..

Answer 14

Reduce the fraction 16/6 by 2
This is why you guide not give answers

Answer 15

8/3

Answer 16

Is that one of your answer choices?

Answer 17

No,.. unless its 3. but that wouldn't make since.. would it?

Answer 18

@Luigi0210 what''s wrong in guiding ?

Answer 19

@quantun Nothing, I just don't think it's right for people do others work for them.
And Yea qua was right, did you write that question right?

Answer 20

I thought so, hold on..

8^(y-2)=2y

Answer 21

my bad..

Answer 22

That's so much better xD

Answer 23

SORRRY.

Answer 24

is it 8^(y-2)=2^y??

Answer 25

u have posted it wrong again...

Answer 26

sorry

Answer 27

Go easy on her :3

Answer 28

can you solve now?

Answer 29

@dreamer05 Do you know how to start?

Answer 30

Not really. I tried.

Answer 31

Well simple, get like bases.

Answer 32

8 and 2?

Answer 33

see 8 can be written as 2^3

Answer 34

Change 8 so it has a base of 2

Answer 35

compare both sides

Answer 36

what does that mean?

Answer 37

Yup, so now you have:
\[2^{3(y-2)}=2^y\]
Since the bases are the same, you can get rid of them and just solve: 3(y-2)=y

Answer 38

so it be, 3y-6=3y

Answer 39

R.H.S. will be 2y

Answer 40

Where did that 3y come from on the right?

Answer 41

sorry y

Answer 42

^

Answer 43

or not, idk i thought you were so suppose to add the 3 to the y.

so its just 3y-6=y

Answer 44

Now just solve for y..

Answer 45

-3

Answer 46

Try again

Answer 47

so, just 3?

Answer 48

bring y to one side and 6 to other and sovle

Answer 49

Yup

Answer 50

2y=6

Answer 51

This took a bit longer than expect but hey, you got it.

Answer 52

oh I did.. its 3?

Answer 53

Yup

Answer 54

YAY. sorry i'm really really really bad at math...

Answer 55

No it's fine, I've dealt with you before missy ;P

Answer 56

I know lolol...

Answer 57

Just keep trying and you'll be good :)

Answer 58

try to solve as many problems as you can

Answer 59

Thank you, thank you.
