solve for y?

OpenStudy (nickymail48):

yes

-7

OpenStudy (nickymail48):

how did u get that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first we convert -2(4y+1) to -8-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean -8y-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the add 8y to both sides -6y+12=-8y-2 +8y +8y 2y+12=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now subtract 12 from both sides to get y by itself 2y+12=-2 -12 -12 2y=-14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and last dived the whole equation by 2 to get y= 2y=-14/2 y=-7
