Question

-4(y - 2) = 12.

Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(y-2)=12

distribute

-4y+8=12

subtract 8 by both sides to cancel out 8 on the left side

-4y+8-8=12-8

-4y=4

divide by negative 4 to get rid of the -4 in -4y

-4y/-4=4/-4

y=-1

Answer 2

Distribute -4 so u get -4y +8 =12
Subtract 8 from 12 which equals 4
So u have -4y=4
Divide both sides by -4
So u get y= -1
