Answer 1

am i simplifying or solving for y?

Answer 2

either way its y=-6

Answer 3

solving the equation

Answer 4

but i need to show work. idk how

Answer 5

ok hold on

Answer 6

@nicoleced

Is this your equation?

\(-4y+10=2(3y+1)\)?

Answer 7

no, its exactly how i wrote it.

Answer 8

First you expand
-4y+10 =-2 (3y+1)
-4y + 10 = -6y – 2

The subtract 10 from each side
-4y + 10 - 10 = -6y – 2 – 10


Then add 6y to both sides
-4y = -6y – 12
-4y + 6y = -6y – 12 + 6y
2y = -12

Divide both sides by 2

2y / 2 = -12 / 2

y = -6

Answer 9

okay i have a couple more @trueseminole

Answer 10

-3x+1=-2 (4x+2)

Answer 11

please and thank you!

Answer 12

.The same as last time, expand
-3x+1=-2 (4x+2)
-3x + 1 = -8x - 4

The subtract 1 from each side
-3x + 1 - 1 = -8x – 4 – 1
-3x = -8x - 5


Then add 8x to both sides
-3x = -8x – 5
-3x + 8x = -8x – 5 + 8x
5x = -5

Divide both sides by 5

5x / 5 = -5 / 5

y = -1
