HELP I GOT THE WRONG ANSWER

5. What is the solution to the following equation 4 - 2y = -8


A. y = 2
B. y = -6
C. y = -2
D. y = 6

I choose answer C but my teacher said it was wrong.

Answer 1

-8 -4 = -12/-2 = 6 D.

Answer 2

@Carniel we have different answers i guess

Answer 3

You subtract 4 from both sides which gives you -12 then divide by -2

Answer 4

@Carniel wait, nvm, you're right lol I made a mistake

Answer 5

Negative divided by a negative is a positive

Answer 6

4 - 2y = -8
-2y=-8-4
-2y=-12
-12/-2y
y=6
Which is D :)
