..What is the value of y? 4y^2 + 8 = 264

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First we subtract 8 to both sides, what's 264 - 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

256.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: 4y^2 = 256 Now divide 4 to both sides, what's 256 / 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 64.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, now we find the square root of both sides. \(\sqrt{64}\) Find that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that's our answer. \(y = 8\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!!

OpenStudy (mathmath333):
