Question

4y-16+8y=-4

Answer 1

Here,-16 + 12y = -4

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 16 + 12y = -4 + 16

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + 12y = -4 + 16
12y = -4 + 16

Combine like terms: -4 + 16 = 12
12y = 12

Divide each side by '12'.
y = 1

Simplifying
y = 1
