Question

nvm i have a new question i need to know if the answer is correct

4x(6)+y=20

i got y=20-24x
do i have to subtract 20 from 24x to get the answer or is 24x the answer or is it -24x??

Answer 1

multiply the numbers.

4 x 6 + y = 20

move constant (24) to the right side and change its sign.

24 + y = 20

calculate the difference and you get the answer.

y = 20 - 24

y = -4

So the value of y is -4.
